Moga, February 14

Moga witnessed peaceful polling on Sunday amid allegations of bogus voting by Congress leaders with the help of local administration, particularly the police.

Only one incident of attack on an Akali candidate, Parveen Kumar Peena, by an Independent candidate was reported in the Moga city. The police had not registered a case in this regard till the filing of this report. In ward No. 1, from where local Congress MLA Dr Harjot Kamal’s wife was contesting, massive bogus voting was reported.

Akali leaders alleged that an SP-rank police officer, including few DSPs and inspectors, were stationed in ward number 1 and they were themselves monitoring bogus voting. — TNS

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).
