Over 97,000 candidates appeared for an exam for the recruitment of sub-inspectors in the J&K Police on Sunday. The exam was conducted by the J&K Service Selection Board for the first time. The first-ever OMR-based objective type written examination for 1,200 posts of SIs, Home Department, was conducted successfully, a JKSSB official said.

A total of 322 examination centres were set up across 16 districts. The JKSSB had advertised the posts last year. As many as 1,13,861 candidates had registered for the exam and 97,793 (85.95 per cent) appeared for it, the official added. —

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).
