Chandigarh, May 12

The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Punjab, Sibin C, has sought a report from the Principal Secretary, Department of Local Government, Punjab, regarding a complaint submitted by Ravneet Singh Bittu, MP, Ludhiana, that the Municipal Commissioner had not issued a no-dues certificate (NDC) to him as per the EC guidelines and he was misusing his authority.

Bittu had submitted a complaint to the CEO regarding non-issuance of NDC by the Municipal Commissioner within 48 hours of submission of application, which he claimed was impeding his ability to participate in Lok Sabha elections.

To address the matter promptly, the CEO has written to the Principal Secretary to conduct a swift inquiry and submit the findings to the EC.

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).
