Chandigarh, March 31

The Aam Aadmi Party government today dissolved the Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB), though an order issued by the Chief Secretary, Punjab.

The order comes a day after the state government had asked to remove all heads of Improvement Trusts in the state. Already, the new government has asked the political appointees of the previous dispensation in boards and corporations to resign.

The SS Board is responsible for recruitment of junior-level government staff. Other than the chairman, it has 11 members. These were all appointed by the previous Congress government. The suspension of the board comes even as the recruitment process is already on. —

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).
