London, May 25

An Indian-origin politician from the UK’s Opposition Labour Party, Mohinder K Midha, has been elected mayor of Ealing Council in west London, becoming the first woman mayor of a local London council belonging to the Dalit community.

Midha was elected for the next year’s term of 2022-23 at a council meeting on Tuesday. The election is being celebrated by the British Dalit community as a proud moment.

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).
