Shimla, April 13

The Himachal Pradesh Police will now have women buglers at the guard of honour and other ceremonies after three constables completed the four-month Basic Bugler course at HP Police Training College, Daroh.

Breaking gender stereotypes, Shivani, Shweta and Neeshu are set to storm the male-dominated bastion. They are performing duty as buglers at the Indian Reserve Battalion. The initiative was taken during the incumbency of IGP Bimal Gupta when he was serving as Principal of the Police Training College.

DGP Sanjay Kundu, in a statement, said the addition of female buglers to the police force not only highlighted the department’s dedication to diversity, but also inspired women who aspired to join the force.

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).
