Mohali, January 14

Aashika Jain, a 2015 batch IAS officer, has been posted as new Mohali Deputy Commissioner. She replaced Amit Talwar, who has been transferred as Director, Sports and Youth Services, Punjab, in addition to Special Secretary, Planning.

Aashika Jain was posted as Additional Deputy Commissioner, Urban Development, Jalandhar.

Jain, a BA, LLB (Hons) from National Law University (2014), and Masters in Public Management from JNU, had earlier served as Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Mohali in 2020.

She played a key role in the administration’s fight against Covid pandemic in 2020-21.

Hailing from Ambala Cantt, Aashiika Jain bagged 74th rank in the UPSC exams in 2015 in her maiden attempt.

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).
