Fifteen candidates remain in the fray for the Ludhiana (West) Assembly bypoll after the completion of scrutiny of nomination papers on Tuesday.

Punjab Chief Electoral Officer Sibin C said 22 candidates had filed nominations for the bypoll from May 26 to June 2.

The names of the candidates who remain in the fray include Bharat Bhushan Ashu (Congress), Parupkar Singh Ghuman (Shiromani Akali Dal), Sanjeev Arora (Aam Aadmi Party) and Jiwan Gupta (BJP). They can withdraw their nominations till June 5.

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).
