Chandigarh, January 19

Inderpal Singh, senior additional advocate general, Punjab, is the new Chief Information Commissioner of Punjab. His name for the top post in the State Information Commission was cleared by Governor Banwarilal Purohit.

A successful lawyer from Hoshiarpur, Inderpal Singh “Dhanna”, is also a close friend of CM Bhagwant Mann. He succeeds former DGP Suresh Arora as the state’s CIC. Arora’s term had ended three months ago. Since then, the post had been lying vacant.

The date for his swearing-in ceremony is yet to be decided. Inderpal has been practising since 1989. He was appointed as senior additional advocate general in August. He was also the vice-chairman of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana in 2012.

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).
