Prime Minister Narendra Modi today told trainee Indian Police Service (IPS) officers that they should make efforts to change the “negative image” of the police.

Addressing IPS probationers at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy via video-conferencing, Modi asked them to keep national interest in mind. “You would certainly be facing and encountering local problems, but to solve them you must keep the nation in mind,” he told the probationers.

He asked the young officers to remember that they were the flag bearers of ‘Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat”. “The spirit of ‘nation first, always first’ should always reflect in your action,” said the PM.

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).
