For the first time, the UT Home Secretary will not hold the charge of Chairman, Chandigarh Industrial and Tourism Development Corporation Limited (CITCO).

According to a notification issued by the UT Administration, the Chairman of CITCO will be appointed by the UT Administrator from among officers of the administration. The post has been held by the UT Home Secretary, a Haryana cadre IAS officer, since the inception of CITCO in 1974.

At present, the post of chairman has been held by AGMUT cadre IAS officer Ajay Chagti.

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).
