Ferozepur, May 11

After much dilly-dally, the nagar panchayat of Mudki got its president recently. During the peaceful election process, under the supervision of Amit Gupta, SDM, the SAD candidate, Gurjit Kaur Brar, was elected the president.

Earlier, the election of the president had to be postponed twice as the ruling Congress was reportedly trying to lure some MCs to make its own president. During the nagar panchayat polls, the SAD had secured eight out of 13 seats, while five seats were won by the ruling Congress. Mudki is the first nagar panchayat in this region, where the SAD secured victory. Former MLA Joginder Singh Jindu said the president had been elected unanimously. — OC

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).
