Kuldeep Singh Dhillon, Barnala district president of the Congress, has been fielded by the party in the Barnala bypoll.

The seat fell vacant after AAP MLA Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer got elected as an MP from the Sangrur Lok Sabha constituency.

Dhillon, who is contesting the poll for the first time, is a brother of late Harinder Singh Seera Dhillon. Harinder was an active leader of the Punjab Youth Congress. His family runs a transport business.

Makhan Sharma, former Barnala district chief of the Congress, said he had extended support to Dhillon and the the party’s cadre would ensure his victory in a big way.

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).
