Claiming the total seizures so far during the Gujarat Assembly elections were over 10 times than that in the entire 2017 polls, the Election Commission said its officials had seized cash, drugs, liquor and freebies worth over Rs 290 crore. The total seizures in 2017 stood at Rs 27.21 crore. Drugs worth Rs 61.96 crore and four lakh litres of liquor worth Rs 14.88 crore had been seized, said an official.

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).
