Muktsar, June 27

Coming from a humble background, two youths from Muktsar district have cleared the PCS exam, the results of which were declared recently.

Sukhpal Singh (33) from Duhewala village here, whose father once worked as a mason, has cleared the PCS exam with the second rank in the ex-serviceman category. Sukhpal, presently serving in the electrical wing of the Indian Navy in Gujarat, claims to have already applied for retirement from there.

Similarly, 35-year-old Angrej Singh from Jawahrewala village here, whose father once worked as a combine harvester driver, has cleared the PCS exam with the ninth rank in the SC category.

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).
