Chandigarh, May 3

The shortage of officers in Haryana is set to be reduced with the Centre increasing the state’s IAS quota from 205 to 215.

A source said this had been done through a recent notification issued by the Central Government. With a number of senior IAS officers either retiring recently or retiring this year, there is an acute shortage of officers in the state government. The increase in IAS quota by 10 would significantly reduce the shortage of IAS officers in the state, a senior officer stated.

Due to shortage of officers, a majority of the IAS officers are currently holding multiple charges at the state headquarters and the district level.

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).
