Chandigarh, April 14

Lieutenant General Pushpendra Singh on Thursday took over as the 17th General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Rising Star Corps based at Yol in Himachal Pradesh.

An alumnus of the Indian Military Academy, he was commissioned into 4 Para (Special Forces) in December 1987.

In a career spanning over 35 years, the General officer has participated in Operations Pawan, Meghdoot, Rakshak and Orchid and has foreign combat exposure in the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon and Operation Pawan in Sri Lanka.

Prior to taking over the Rising Star Corps, he served at Infantry School Mhow and Strategic Forces Command, besides being Chief of Staff of the Lucknow based Central Command.

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).
