DoPT Secretary Vivek Joshi has been sent back to his cadre state Haryana, an official order said on Saturday.

Joshi, a 1989-batch officer of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), was appointed Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) secretary in August.

The Appointments Committee of Cabinet has approved Joshi's repatriation “to his parent cadre on the request of the government of Haryana”, said the order issued by the Union personnel ministry.

He is likely to be appointed Haryana's chief secretary, an official said.

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).
