Chandigarh/Amritsar, September 22

Damandeep Singh Uppal has been appointed Amritsar Improvement Trust chairman in place of Dinesh Bassi.

Amarinder loyalist Bassi was on Wednesday removed from the post. Bassi reportedly did not have good terms with PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu.

During his visit to the city, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi replaced Bassi with Sidhu’s close aide Damandeep.

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).
