A state-level “oath-taking ceremony” of sarpanches, who were elected on October 15, will be held in the coming week.

The government is proposing to hold the ceremony at Sarabha, the native village of freedom fighter Kartar Singh Sarabha. CM Bhagwant Mann is likely to administer oath to 10,031 sarpanches there.

However, the sarpanches of villages in Muktsar, Barnala, Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur districts, where byelections are due on November 13, will be administered the oath later.

The panches will be administered the oath at district-level functions to be chaired by Cabinet ministers.

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).
