Chandigarh, March 19

Acting on a complaint, the Election Commission (EC) today directed the transfer of Jalandhar Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Sarangal.

The letter issued in this regard specifies that he should be transferred from present posting to another place that is not in his home district. Also, it must be ensured that the officer is transferred out of the district and is not posted within the same parliamentary constituency. The EC has demanded a panel of three officers to appoint the new DC of Jalandhar.

The EC has also asked for transfers of ADGP of Ropar Range, Jaskaran Singh, and DIG of Border Range, Narinder Bhargav. These two officers have also been asked to be transferred out of the district and not posted within the same parliamentary constituency. The Commission has demanded fresh panels for both officers.

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).
