A heartfelt farewell was accorded to Superintendent of Police (SP) Bhagat Singh Thakur at Police Ground here today. Officers of the district administration, police officials and local dignitaries were present on the occasion. Troops performed a ceremonial parade as the officer retired from active duty. Notably, Thakur retired after serving for 32 years in the department. Being a national gold medallist in boxing, he remained a disciplined officer of the force throughout.

Speaking on the occasion, he said he was moved by the love and affection showered on him. He urged his successors to continue the ‘War Against Drugs’.

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).
