The Chief Engineer of the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL), Hisar, Anil Kumar, has been suspended with immediate effect on the recommendation of state Energy Minister Anil Vij. His headquarters during the suspension has been fixed at Panchkula.

Vij said a report was received regarding a fire incident at the 33 kV GIS at the 220 kV substation in Sector-107, Gurugram, on February 9. The incident had disrupted the power supply to around 22 societies and other areas in Gurugram.

Kumar had failed to inform his higher authorities about the fire. The minister took strict view of the situation and recommended his immediate suspension.

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).
