Harpreet Singh Sidhu, Additional Director General of Police, STF, Punjab, SAS Nagar, will also hold additional charge of ADGP, Prisons, in addition to his present assignment.

He replaces ADGP Varinder Kumar, who was posted as Chief Director, Vigilance Bureau.

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).
