The state government appointed Dr Rajesh Sharma from Kangra as the Chairman of the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education on Saturday.

Dr Sharma, a doctor by profession, had contested the 2022 Vidhan Sabha elections as the Congress candidate for the Dehra Assembly constituency in Kangra district.

He was also in the race for the Assembly by-poll ticket from Dehra, held in June 2024.

However, at the last minute, Sharma had to step out of the race as, on the insistence of the party high command Kamlesh Thakur, wife of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had contested the by-poll successfully.

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).
