New Delhi, March 6

The Election Commission will organise an international election visitors’ programme for foreign poll management bodies in virtual mode on March 7 when Uttar Pradesh votes for the last phase of Assembly elections.

The programme constitutes an important part of the EC’s international outreach and seeks to familiarise fellow election management bodies with the electoral system and processes adopted in India.

The programme also provides an opportunity to the EC to share best practices and experience of the conduct of the poll process along with the steps taken to ensure compliance of Covid protocols, it says. —

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).
