Shimla, June 8

Maneesh Garg, a 1996 IAS batch officer, was today appointed Chief Electoral Officer, replacing C Paulrasu.

The government had requested the Election Commission of India to change the CEO and a panel of names of IAS officers was sent to it. Garg’s name was finalised, when he was attending the Chief Minister’s laptop distribution function at Mandi.

Garg had recently returned from the Central deputation and was appointed Secretary (Education) before being appointed the CEO.

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).
