The Election Commission has decided to set up a panel to identify shortcomings during the recently held five Assembly polls. Elections were held in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry. The ‘core committee’ has been tasked to identify shortcomings in the Election Commission’s regulatory regime, and the gaps in implementation and enforcement at the level of state chief electoral officers and district officials. The committee will also look into the need to strengthen the legal and regulatory framework to allow the commission to ensure more effective compliance of guidelines, including Covid-19 norms. — PTI

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).
