Amid noisy session, Harmesh Lal of AAP was elected President of Goraya Nagar Panchayat today. AAP has won 10 seats out of total 13 wards.

Arguments between Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Singh and DSP Phillaur Sarwan Singh Bal took ugly turn during an election meeting when Vikramjit raised his objection on the presence of DSP Bal in the meeting and alleged that DSP was pressuring councillors to vote in favour of Harmesh Lal, who was rejected by his party in the previous meeting held on January 13.

DSP Bal said he was there only to maintain law and order after informing the convener.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
