Six officers of Himachal Pradesh Administrative Service (HAS) have been promoted to the post of IAS.

The promoted officers include Vivek Chandel, Rajeev Kumar, Sunil Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Dalip Kumar Negi and Dr Pankaj Lalit.

Vivek Chandel, HAS officer of the 2004 batch, is the Director-cum-Warden of Fisheries in Bilaspur. Now, he has been promoted from HAS to IAS category.

Rajeev Kumar is currently serving on the post of Managing Director, HPTDC. He is a 2003-batch HAS officer and his name topped the seniority list.

Others include Sunil Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Dalip Kumar Negi and Dr Pankaj Lalit, who is a 2005 batch HAS officer.

Due to the implementation of model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha elections, they are likely to remain posted on their current posts for now.

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).
