New Delhi: Former Karnataka DGP Praveen Sood on Thursday took charge as the CBI Director for a tenure of two years, replacing Subodh Jaiswal. Sood is a 1986-batch IPS officer of the Karnataka cadre. Sood’s name was cleared at a meeting of a committee, comprising PM Modi, CJI DY Chandrachud and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

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).
