Amran Farooq, a 2008-batch officer of the Jammu and Kashmir Police Service (JKPS), has been appointed as Superintendent of Police (SP) in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Farooq, who is currently serving in the CID wing of J&K Police, has been inducted into the CBI for a tenure of four years or until further orders, whichever is earlier.

An official order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) stated: “Approval of the competent authority is hereby conveyed for the induction of Amran Farooq, JKPS:2008, as Superintendent of Police (SP) in CBI for a period of four years from the date of assumption of charge or until 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).
