New Delhi, May 27

The West Bengal State Election Commission today issued a notification regarding the schedule for the election to the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA).

According to the notification, June 3 will be the last date of filing nominations and June 6 last date of withdrawal of nominations. The polling will take place on June 26 and the election process will have to be completed by July 7. The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha faction led by Bimal Gurung and BJP among others have been opposing the elections.

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).
