New Delhi, September 6

Director of the Special Protection Group (SPG), Arun Kumar Sinha, passed away at a hospital in Gurugram early on Wednesday, an official said.

He was 61 and had been unwell for the past few months.

Sinha was a 1987 batch Kerala cadre IPS Officer and serving as SPG Director since 2016.

He was recently given an extension in service.

The Special Protection Group (SPG) was raised in 1985 with a view to providing security cover to the Prime Minister, former prime ministers and their immediate family members. Later, its mandate was amended and it now provides security cover only to the prime minister of the day.

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).
