Former Punjab Chief Secretary V K Janjua has been appointed Chairman of the Punjab Transparency and Accountability Commission. His name was cleared by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday.

Janjua had retired as Chief Secretary in June last year after a stint of 11 months. Being the senior-most bureaucrat then, he was chosen as the Chief Secretary by the AAP Government, after Anirudh Tewari was transferred as the CS of Punjab.

He had even applied for the post of the Chairperson of Punjab Public Service Commission. However, Jatinder Singh Aulakh, a former police officer, was appointed to the post.

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).
