Shimla, March 22

A former Indian Forest Service officer Ajay Kumar has been appointed Chairman of the HP Public Service Commission with the present incumbent Major General Dharamvir Singh Rana (retd) completing his term.

Besides Ajay Kumar, who retired as Principal Chief Conservator Forest last year, the government has also appointed a retired managing director of the state electricity board Jai Prakash Kalta as member of the commission. The commission had Maj Gen Rana (retd) as its chairman and Rachna Gupta as member.

Three posts of member had been lying vacant on the completion of the terms of Mohan Chauhan, Man Singh and Meera Ahluwalia.

Gupta was also in the race to become the chairperson of the commission. There are still two posts of members vacant. Several bureaucrats, both serving and retired, are in the race for members of the commission.

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).
