Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda has said 844 teachers have been promoted, including four to the position of Principal. Promotions for Block Education Officers and District Education Officers would also be done soon, and teacher transfers would be initiated shortly.

He informed that 35 chemistry teachers and 18 Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs) have been promoted to Post-Graduate Teachers (PGTs). One PGT each (Sanskrit and English) and two (Hindi) have been promoted to the post of Principal. Similarly, four commerce teachers, 207 in English, one in geography, 203 in history, 137 in political science, 13 in sociology, 150 in Sanskrit, 37 in home science and 35 in Hindi have been promoted from TGT to PGT.

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).
