Chandigarh, November 29

The Shiromani Akali Dal today named former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur and senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia as party candidates from the Bholath and Majitha constituencies, respectively. Bibi Jagir Kaur’s candidature was announced minutes after she relinquished charge as SGPC president in favour of Harjinder Singh Dhami this afternoon.

The SAD has named 89 candidates of the 97 seats in its share of poll-alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party, which will contest 20 seats in the 117-member Punjab Assembly. The party has kept the suspense going over the Lambi constituency. Five-time CM Parkash Singh Badal is likely to contest again, but the party is keeping its cards close to the chest on his candidature. — 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).
