The Council of Ministers today gave approval to the appointment of a retired Army officer, Brig Gautam Ganguly, as the Security Adviser in the rank of DIG in the Punjab Police for three years. He will be given a monthly remuneration of the last pay drawn at the time of retirement minus the pension admissible to the officer.

He will be tasked with training, equipping and employment of special operations group and other specialised units of the police. With a stint as the Force Commander in the National Security Guard, Ganguly has headed operations for counter-terrorism, counter-hijacking, VIP security of key installations, the agenda item tabled in today’s Cabinet said.

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).
