Chandigarh, November 3

Taking cognisance of the news published in the media about the recruitment of non-Punjabis in Punjab Police by ignoring the rules, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has sought a detailed report from the Director General of Police (DGP).

The Deputy Chief Minister has asked DGP Iqbalpreet Singh Sahota to furnish all the facts pertaining to it. He said it is a serious issue which needed immediate action for which the detailed report is necessary.

Randhawa told the DGP to submit the report within a week so that further action could be taken.

The Home Minister said the Punjab government would go into the bottom of the case and strict action would be taken in case of a violation of law.

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).
