Phagwara, February 16

Kapurthala Electoral Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner Deepti Uppal on Tuesday asked all Returning Officers (ROs) to ensure the web casting or videography at all 793 polling booths to ensure a free and fair polling on February 20.

In a review meeting held with the Returning Officers and nodal officers, she said the polling stations must have minimum facilities as per the instructions of the EC, which mainly includes tenting and 50 chairs at each polling booth, waiting area, circles at polling booths to social distancing norms. Taking a serious note of delay in distribution of voting slips at the doorstep of voters, she said, “This task must be completed till February 18.” —

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).
