Because of his absence, candidates could not obtain the mandatory no-objection certificate, and thus could not file their nominations. The notice was issued to him on Tuesday, said State Election Commissioner Raj Kamal Chaudhari.

On the day of announcement of elections on November 28, he had categorically asked all officers on election duty to remain present in their offices during the office hours so that candidates were not inconvenienced.

Meanwhile, on the second day of filing of nominations, 25 candidates filed papers for zila parishad and 110 for panchayat samitis in the state.

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).
