Jalandhar, March 7

With the support of both the Congress and the SAD, US-based NRI Kirpal Singh Sahota was today elected NRI Sabha president.

A total of 363 NRIs cast their votes, of whom 260 voted for Sahota. Former president Jasvir Singh Shergill got 100 votes. Another former chief Pritam Singh Narangpuri, who had backed out at the last moment, got two votes. One vote was declared invalid. As expected, polling remained low at 1.5 per cent. — 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).
