Chandigarh, June 3

AAP’s Sangrur district incharge Gurmail Singh will be the party candidate for the bye-election to Sangrur Lok Sabha seat, which is scheduled for June 23.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had vacated the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat after being elected to Vidhan Sabha from Dhuri Assembly constituency.

Bhagwant Mann is a two-time MP from Sangrur and had won the seat with a huge margin of over 1 lakh votes both the times.

Sangrur is considered a bastion of the AAP. The party won all the nine assembly segments in the 2022 assembly elections. Meanwhile, AAP has lived up to its reputation of nominating grassroot level worker as a party candidate.

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).
