A total of 102 candidates filed nominations for elections to the 17 wards of the Jalalabad Municipal Council by the close of nominations on Thursday. According to official sources, the candidates include 23 from the Congress, 21 from AAP, 18 from SAD, 20 from the BJP and 20 Independents.

Jalalabad SDM Kanwarjit Singh Mann said all arrangements for the elections have been completed. In all, 33 polling booths have been set up for nearly 28,000 voters. Polling would be held on July 5, with counting to take place immediately after voting ends.

Officials said the Jalalabad municipal elections were earlier postponed as final electoral rolls for some wards were not received in time.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
