Ten days after rebel Congress minister Sukhjinder Randhawa demanded the removal of the Punjab Principal Secretary-Home, besides DGP-Vigilance and the state Advocate General over the former DGP Sumedh Saini arrest fiasco, the Punjab Government today replaced Home Secretary Anurag Aggarwal with Anruag Verma.

The move is seen as an attempt by the Capt Amarinder Singh camp to placate rebel party leaders, who have grouped with the Navjot Singh Sidhu camp.

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).
