Chandigarh, October 29

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has allowed Mandip Singh Brar to continue as the DC of the UT till further orders.

The three-year inter-cadre deputation of Brar was to end on October 31. However, the UT had sought a three-month extension for Brar. It had also recommended the name of IAS officer Vinay Pratap Singh to the MHA for the post of DC.

The Haryana Government had sent a panel of three officers to the UT for the post, which is reserved for a Haryana-cadre IAS officer.

The panel received by the UT Administration includes the names of Vinay Pratap Singh, Prabhjot Singh and Mukul Kumar. — TNS

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).
