The SDM-cum-Returning Officer today suspended 10 government employees — eight teachers, one librarian and a junior assistant — for abstaining from the poll duty.

The order says the very important work of elections has been badly hit due to their gross negligence. The elections for the vacant posts of panches in 14 villages and sarpanch of one village in Gidderbaha were held on Sunday. Those suspended are Sagar Gaba, Gamdoor Singh, Joginderpal Singh, Avtar Singh, Dinesh Kumar, Vikram Singh, Gurjinder Singh, Manjit Singh, Rupinder Singh and Sunil Kumar.

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).
