Jammu, September 18

Amid spike in Covid-19 cases across Jammu and Kashmir, the UT Administration today deployed 62 KAS officers (probationers) for assisting in coronavirus mitigation efforts.

According to an order issued by the government, the officers would be extending their services for containing the spread of the virus till April 30 next year.

“At least 20 KAS officers (probationers) each would be deployed in Srinagar and Jammu districts. The remaining would be deployed in Kathua, Anantnag, Rajouri, Baramulla and Udhampur districts,” the order said.

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).
