Chandigarh, August 15

The Haryana government on Sunday appointed 1988-batch IPS officer Prashanta Kumar Agrawal as DGP Haryana. His term will be of two years from the date of his assumption of office.

Earlier, the UPSC had empanelled IPS officers Dr RC Mishra (1989 batch), Muhammad Akil (1989 batch) and Agrawal for the post. The government chose Agrawal today.

He would replace Manoj Yadava.

Yadava had joined as police chief on February 21, 2019. Citing personal reasons and career prospects, he had earlier written to ACS (Home) Rajeev Arora on June 22 seeking repatriation to Intelligence Bureau.

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).
