Patiala, December 21

The Punjab government on Tuesday appointed Baldev Singh Sran as the chairman-cum-managing director (CMD) of the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), for the second time after he completed his two-year tenure in 2020.

The retired PSPCL chief engineer has a 35-year experience of working in different positions in the power corporation.

He was the president of PSEB Engineers Association for five years.

A Venu Prasad, an IAS officer, was holding the post ever since a regular appointment was not made.

He was instrumental in reducing expenditures as chief engineer at the Bathinda thermal plant. Later, he ensured record hydro generation as chief engineer, Hydro, which was his last posting before he retired earlier in 2018.

Later was appointed as CMD for a two-year tenure.

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).
