Patiala, January 29

After serving as Deputy Commissioner of Patiala district for nearly two years, DC Sakshi Sawhney was been transferred to Ludhiana. Showkat Ahmad Parray is set to replace Sawhney as the new DC for the district. Parray, 2013 batch IAS officer of the Punjab cadre, was serving as DC Bathinda.

Sakshi Sawhney, a 2014 batch IAS officer, took over as Patiala DC in April 2022, becoming the first woman to hold the post. Sawhney held the post of MC Commissioner of Patiala as well. Besides her various public-centric initiatives, her efforts in reaching out to people who were hit by floods in various villages last year were appreciated by residents.

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).
