A week after his appointment, Panjab University (PU) alumnus Dr Sagar Preet Hooda will take charge as Director General of Chandigarh Police on Wednesday.

Haryana native 1997-batch AGMUT cadre IPS officer, who had also served as Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) in Chandigarh Police after joining the police service in August 1997, was appointed to the top post of the Chandigarh Police on July 15.

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).
