Chandigarh, September 23

ADGP Harpreet Singh Sidhu is tipped to take over as the new chief of the Punjab Vigilance Bureau.

Sidhu is currently the head of the Special Task Force against drugs.

He will replace DGP Vigilance BK Uppal.

The name of the new Punjab DGP is also expected to be announced anytime on Thursday.

VK Bhawra, Sidharth Chattopadhyay and IPS Sahota are in contention for the top post.

Sources say Chattopadhyaya is the frontrunner for the post, but the state government needs a legal clearance for his appointment.

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).
