New Delhi, January 30

The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force today said it had posted Lhari Dorjee Lhatoo, a 1999-batch IPS officer of the Manipur cadre, as the new commander in Ladakh to lead the troops along Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. Lhatoo would replace Inspector General (IG) Deepam Seth, who has been transferred to the ITBP Headquarters in Delhi, official sources said.

An official said these were routine transfers. Lhatoo has served in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Special Protection Group (SPG), He is is expected to take charge in Ladakh in the next few days.

Seth has been a part of military talks, as a representative of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, which took place with the Chinese to move forward on the long-negotiated disengagement process in eastern Ladakh.

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).
