New Delhi, March 7

With exit polls predicting a close fight in Uttarakhand the Congress on Monday night deputed Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Singh Hooda as its special observer to work out modalities in the post poll scenario.

Hooda will be expected to coordinate with all elected MLAs and will be in touch with Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel just in case MLAs need to be shifted out.

Goa poll observer P Chidambaram has already reached Goa where the fight is predicted to be close. More observers may be appointed for Goa to keep the Congress flock together.

Sources said observers could also be appointed for Punjab and discussions were on.

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).
