On one seat, in panchayats election in Gujarat, a candidate received only one vote, suggesting that he could not manage to get the votes of even his family members.

Santosh Halpati was in fray for the post of Sarpanch in Chharwala village of Vapi district.

Halpati broke down near the counting centre on finding that he just got one vote, which was his own.  He was heartbroken that not even his wife had voted for him. The State Election Commission declared the results of 6,481 out of 8,686 village panchayats in Gujarat on Tuesday. Currency notes wrapped in a ballot paper were recovered from a ballot box in Vadodara district.

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).
