The Jammu and Kashmir Government has constituted a special task force (STF) to scrutinise cases of its employees allegedly found involved in “anti-national” activities for which it will engage with members of the Terror Monitoring Group (TMG) and seek assistance of other agencies.

Additional Director-General of the Crime Investigation Department RR Swain will head the STF. The other members will include representatives of the Home Department, Department of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs and the department of the employee under investigation.

“On several occasions during investigations, the J&K Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) have found instances where government officials were allegedly involved in terror or separatist activities,” said a senior official. — TNS

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).
