Chandigarh, February 8

Major-Gen Rajiv Chhibber took over as 9th Additional Director General of the National Cadet Corps’ Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh Directorate here today.

In his 33 years of service, he has held prestigious command and staff assignments, including a foreign tenure as adviser to Commander, Botswana Defence Forces, where he ensured military training on the Indian pattern, thus negating the influence of other Asian countries.

Besides commanding an infantry battalion in J&K and an Assam Rifles sector in the North-East, General Chhibber has held critical assignments at the division, corps and Army Headquarters level.

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).
