Making a new beginning in rural politics, residents of village Dagana Khurd, instead of a local person, trusted a migrant woman from UP Ram Bai, a resident of Allahabad, and entrusted her with the reins of the village as sarpanch.

According to information, in the panchayat elections held today at Dagana Khurd, Ram Bai won the election of sarpanch by securing 47 votes, while her opponent Seema could manage to secure just 17 votes.

Sarpanch Ram Bai’s husband Raju has been working as a mason in Punjab for the last 25 years. The newly elected sarpanch said they are originally from Allahabad. Ram Bai said she will not allow any stagnation in the development of the village. She said she will take the villagers along and contribute to the development of the village.

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).
