The seats became vacant after Brahm Shankar Jimpa was elected as MLA from Ward No. 6, and the deaths of the Congress councillors Paramjit Kaur (Ward No. 7) and Gurmeet Kaur Hundal (Ward No. 27).

MLA Brahm Shankar Jimpa is supporting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidates in all three wards. Former cabinet ministers Sunder Sham Arora of the Congress and Tikshan Sood of the BJP are working to secure victories for their respective parties.

While Congress has filed its nominations, AAP has yet to announce candidates for these wards, although sources suggest that Jimpa’s brother, Rajeshwar Dayal Babi, may contest from Ward No. 6.

The deadline for filing nominations is December 12.

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).
