Srinagar, August 3
The J&K administration on Saturday sacked six government employees, including five policemen, for their “involvement in anti-national activities”, officials said.
J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha invoked Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution to terminate their services. “Their activities had come to the notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they found them involved in acts prejudicial to the interests of the state,” a spokesperson said. The employees have been identified as Head Constable Farooq Ahmad Sheikh, Selection Grade Constables Saif Din, Khalid Hussian Shah & Irshad Ahmad Chalkoo, Constable Rahmat Shah and teacher Nazam Din. — 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).
