Srinagar, November 20

Atal Dulloo, senior IAS officer of the erstwhile J&K cadre, is likely to be appointed as the next Chief Secretary of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir upon the retirement of AK Mehta on November 30. The Union Home Ministry today repatriated Dulloo to the UT cadre.

Dulloo’s premature repatriation from the Centre has been approved by the Cabinet Committee on Appointments on the request of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs where he is currently posted as Secretary, Department of Border Management.

The current Chief Secretary, Arun Kumar Mehta, is set to retire at the end of this month upon reaching the age of 60.

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).
