Lieutenant General MV Suchindra Kumar assumed charge as the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Udhampur-based Northern Command of the Army on Monday. He succeeded Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi, who has assumed the charge of the Vice Chief of the Army Staff and is the frontrunner to become the Army Chief when incumbent General Manoj Pande retires on May 31.

The Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADGPI) of the Army posted on X, “Lt Gen MV Suchindra Kumar assumed the command of #DhruvaCommand and paid homage to the #Bravehearts at #DhruvaWarMemorial. He exhorted all ranks to remain focused on operational preparedness and continue working with utmost zeal and enthusiasm.”

Lt Gen Dwivedi headed the Northern Command for more than two years after taking over its charge on February 1, 2022.

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).
