District Election Officer (DEO) Himanshu Jain announced on Saturday that comprehensive arrangements are in place for the smooth and secure counting of votes for the Ludhiana West bypoll, scheduled for June 23.

Jain said the counting of votes and postal ballots will commence at 7 am in the presence of election observers, candidates and their authorised representatives. Robust security measures have been implemented, including the deployment of paramilitary forces at counting centres to safeguard EVMs and VVPAT machines. Continuous monitoring is ensured through closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance.

The DEO said entry to the counting centres would be strictly regulated, allowing only candidates, their representatives, media personnel and authorised individuals with valid identity cards issued by the Election Commission.

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).
