Senior IPS officer Pushpendra Kumar has formally taken over as the new Inspector General of Police (IG), replacing RK Singh, who has been reassigned to Delhi following a recent cadre reshuffle.

A 2006-batch officer from the AGMUT cadre, Kumar was earlier serving as Joint Commissioner of Police for the Eastern Range in the Delhi Police.

Meanwhile, RK Singh, a 2004 batch officer, has been transferred to Delhi but has not yet assumed his new post. He continues to oversee duties as the Director General of Police (DGP) in Chandigarh after the transfer of former DGP Surendra Yadav in April. The position of UT DGP is vacant at present.

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).
