New Delhi, January 23

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday joined other CMs in opposing the Centre’s proposed amendments to the IAS cadre rules.

The rules will enable the Centre to post IAS officers on Central deputations bypassing state government suggestions and inputs. Stalin in a letter to PM Narendra Modi said the proposed changes “strike at the very root of the nation’s federal polity and state autonomy”.

Vijayan in a similar letter sought that the changes be withdrawn. The Kerala CM said the proposal would create “a fear psychosis among bureaucrats in respect of implementing state government policies”.

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).
