A general observer in Gujarat Assembly polls was on Friday removed from election duty for posting pictures on his social media account

IAS officer-turned-actor Abhishek Singh has reacted after he was relieved of his poll duties in Gujarat elections over his Instagram post announcing his posting.

“I accept the Hon’ble ECI’s decision with all humility. Though I believe there’s nothing wrong in this post…It’s neither publicity nor a stunt,” he tweeted.

The Election Commission reportedly called his post a publicity stunt.

IAS Abhishek Singh’s charge has been given to IAS Krishan Bajpai, who is also appointed as the General Observer for other nearby constituencies, till a general observer is appointed in place of Singh by ECI. Gujarat with 182 assembly constituencies will go to polls in two phases on December 1 and 5.

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).
