Lt-Governor of J&K Girish Chander Murmu on Tuesday appointed former Chief Secretary and retired IAS officer Braj Raj Sharma as the new chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC). An order issued by the General Administration Department (GAD) here stated that Sharma would hold the position till he attains the age of 62 years. A 1984-batch IAS officer of the J&K cadre, Sharma was appointed as the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Chairman in October last year. On April 20, he was re-employed as the SSC Chairman for two more years up to April 30, 2022. — 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).
