Chandigarh, May 1

Atul Verma was on Wednesday appointed the new Himachal Pradesh Director General of Police.

Verma–the 1991-batch IPS officer–will replace Sanjay Kundu, who retired on April 30.

Atul Verma is currently posted as the Director General of the Himachal Pradesh CID. His appointment as the new Himachal DGP was notified by the Governor on Wednesday morning.

He returned recently from central deputation.

Verma is seen as a trusted officer of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu as he was given the charge of the all-important CID wing recently after the Congress government’s fiasco in the Rajya Sabha election, when six of its MLAs cross-voted for the BJP.

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).
