Dr Pavnesh Kumar was sworn in as a Member of the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) at a formal ceremony held at Raj Bhavan, Shimla on Saturday.

Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla administered the oath of office and secrecy to Dr Kumar. Lady Governor Janaki Shukla was also present at the ceremony.

The proceedings were conducted by CP Verma, Secretary to the Governor.

The ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including Rameshwar Singh Thakur, Chairman of HPPSC; PS Rana, Chairman of the State Human Rights Commission; CB Barowalia, Lokayukta; Anup Kumar Rattan, Advocate General; and other prominent personalities.

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).
