The Haryana government has appointed Uttam Singh as the new Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Gurugram in a major administrative reshuffle involving 15 IAS officers across the state.

Uttam Singh, who was previously serving as DC of Karnal, replaces Ajay Kumar, who has been transferred and posted as Deputy Principal Secretary-II to the Chief Minister.

The reshuffle, carried out under the directions of the Haryana government, is aimed at strengthening governance and improving administrative efficiency in key districts, including Gurugram.

Several other officers were reassigned to strategic roles, indicating a broader bureaucratic restructuring exercise. Officials said such periodic transfers were essential to ensure better policy implementation and responsive administration.

Uttam Singh is expected to take charge soon and oversee key urban governance challenges in Gurugram, including infrastructure management, civic services and coordination between multiple agencies in one of Haryana’s fastest-growing districts.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
