Jalandhar, November 20

A 2009-batch IPS officer Swapan Sharma, who was posted as DIG, Jalandhar Range, has been transferred to Jalandhar as the Commissioner of Police (CP). He would replace IPS Kuldeep Singh Chahal. His transfer orders came on Monday evening.

During his stint as SSP in Fazilka, Bathinda, Ropar, Sangrur, Jalandhar and Amritsar (Rural), Sharma had aggressively campaigned against liquor smugglers and gangsters. Sharma’s name was often discussed for his strict working style. Sharma was honoured with the DGP Disc Award four times. In January this year, he was promoted as the DIG. He was also posted twice as the AIG (Counter intelligence).

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).
