Chandigarh, December 22

Administrator Banwarilal Purohit today requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to appoint new UT Adviser. He said, “There is no shortage of officers in Chandigarh… Only requirement is of the Adviser, please send us the Adviser.”

While the last incumbent, Dharam Pal, retired on October 31, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs is yet to name his successor. The additional charge of the post was handed over to UT Home Secretary Nitin Yadav. This is perhaps the first time that the MHA has not cleared the name of a new UT Adviser even after a gap of nearly two months of the post falling vacant.

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).
