Amritsar, October 17

A 2010 batch IAS officer Ghansham Thori took over as the 177th Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Amritsar today. Before this, he was posted as Director, Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs.

After joining the office today, Thori said his first priority would be to end the pendency at sewa kendras. He said majority of people had pending files at sewa kendras. He said improving pace of work at sewa kendras would help many.

The DC said the government was running many important welfare schemes for the people, which would be implemented at the ground level. He said his focus would be on improving functioning of Mohalla Clinics, development works, construction of Unity Mall and developing and promoting the city as wedding destination.

Thori belongs to Ganga Nagar, Rajasthan. He previously served as Deputy Commissioner in Bathinda, Barnala, Sangrur and Jalandhar.

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).
