Faridkot, April 25

The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), Punjab, has advised all district election officers to deploy women staff in areas near their residence (first priority) or workplace.

Since it is cumbersome to manage the randomisation of women staff manually, the entire polling staff (both men and women) would be randomised through a computerized process — NextGen DISE. It is a web-based app which is being used during the elections for data entry of the polling staff.

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).
