Ludhiana, January 14

As many as 1,273 applicants have submitted their documents to the Sayunkt Samaj Morcha (SSM) to contest the upcoming Assembly elections in Punjab. Farmers’ political outfit leaders said the ticket for six urban constituencies of Ludhiana will be given to industrialists.

Addressing a press conference here on Friday evening, morcha leader Prem Singh Bhangu said since the SSM had announced it would field honest, educated and deserving candidates on all 117 constituencies, it had got a good response. Bhangu said they had decided that six seats of Ludhiana city would be given to industrialists. SSM leader Prof Manjit Singh said: “We are receiving an overwhelming response from people of Punjab.” —

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).
