Bangladesh’s top polls body will announce the action plan for the upcoming general elections within this week, a senior official has said.

The 13th parliamentary polls are set to take place in February next year. Ahmed’s remarks come amid growing speculation over the elections, following statements by leaders of the National Citizen Party who dismissed the possibility of polls taking place in February next year without key reforms and the completion of trials initiated by the interim government.

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).
