Jalandhar, September 8

As CM Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to hand over job letters to 560 SIs tomorrow, the opposition has alleged that AAP is favouring candidates from other states.

The controversy started after a list of seven new recruits for Mansa district went viral. Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira tweeted: “Six out of seven SIs of only Mansa district recruited by your government are from Haryana and then you want youngsters from Punjab not to go to other countries.”

IG Sukhchain Singh Gill said, “Of the 560 SIs, only 35 are from other states. Those inducted had already cleared Punjabi exam in matric.”

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).
