The state government has issued revised guidelines on the re-employment of retired government employees. As per Rule 143 of the Haryana Civil Services (General) Rules, 2016, re-employment beyond 58 years will be allowed “only in exceptional or extraordinary circumstances, and only for a maximum of two years.”

Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, in a letter to all Administrative Secretaries, Heads of Departments, Divisional Commissioners, and Deputy Commissioners, said a committee had been reconstituted through orders dated June 18, 2025. This committee will review both individual and category-wise cases where retired employees’ services are deemed essential.

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).
