Mohali, January 15

Reposing faith in former Cabinet minister and sitting Congress MLA Balbir Singh Sidhu for the works carried out in the Mohali constituency, the Congress high command has again nominated him from the seat. In fact, the party has played its cards on Sidhu’s winning prospects from the seat. He has won the Assembly elections thrice, once from erstwhile Kharar segment and twice from Mohali, and has already been campaigning.

The AAP has fielded former Mayor Kulwant Singh, a realtor. In 2012, Sidhu had defeated SAD’s Balwant Singh Ramoowalia, while in 2017, he trumped AAP candidate Narinder Singh. Sidhu said: “I have never compromised on the development of Mohali. It is people’s trust in me that I have been repeatedly given the chance to serve them.” —

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).
