Chandigarh, March 15

Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) Chairman Bhopal Singh today resigned from his post. His tenure was till March 23.

He told The Tribune that his tenure was till March 23, but no one could have been appointed by that time because of the poll code. “To avoid any problem in the working of the Commission, I have resigned so that a new person could be appointed before the implementation of the Code of Conduct.”

Expressing satisfaction over his tenure, he said that 45,000 posts were filled in the past three years with 22,000 being in the last month. He added that results couldn’t be declared for a few exams because of a stay from the High Court. He admitted that probably HSSC couldn’t convince the court.

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).
