Chandigarh, November 2

The Haryana DGP will head the state-level Transgender Protection Cell to monitor cases of offence against the transgender community.

According to a government notification, the other members of the cell includes the Additional Director-General of Police, crime against women and children, Director-General, social justice empowerment, welfare of SCs and BCs and the Antyodaya (SEWA) Department and two members of the transgender community.

The district-level cell will be headed by the District Magistrate concerned with the Commissioner of Police/SP, District Social Welfare Officer and two members of the transgender community.

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).
