Jammu, February 20

The UT administration today suspended the Managing Director (MD), Jammu and Kashmir Handicrafts (S&E) Corporation, Jasvinder Singh Dua, with immediate effect.

According to a government order, the administration suspended him in terms of Rule 31 of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1956.

“During the period of his suspension, Jasvinder Singh Dua shall remain attached with the office of the Divisional Commissioner, Jammu,” the order said.

Masrat-ul-Islam, Director, Handicrafts, J&K, would hold charge of the post of Managing Director, Jammu and Kashmir Handicrafts (S&E) Corporation, in addition to his own duties, till further orders.

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).
