Srinagar, October 5

The government has relieved Baseer Ahmad Khan of his charge as advisor to the J&K Lieutenant Governor with immediate effect. According to an order issued by the general administration department, Khan, a retired IAS officer of 2000 batch, was relieved of the charge following a communication from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

His removal came all of a sudden and the reasons behind it were not immediately known.

Khan was made advisor in March last year when GC Murmu was the Lieutenant Governor and he continued in the post under Murmu’s successor Manoj Sinha. — PTI

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).
