Chandigarh, November 7

Clearing the air about the government reinstating then Faridkot SP(D) Bikramjit Singh, facing a criminal case in connection with the Behbal Kalan firing incident, Deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa today said the orders were given by former CM Capt Amarinder Singh.

He said the ex-CM, who also held the Home portfolio, had ordered the reinstatement of the police officer concerned while withholding just one increment despite the then Additional Chief Secretary (Home) not writing in favour of the officer. — TNS

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).
