Chandigarh, April 2

Punjab Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa has expressed surprise at the recent transfer of the Hoshiarpur SSP.

In a tweet, the Qadian MLA says, “Instead of Badlav as promised by AAP the officer is awarded with Badli. The SSP of Hoshiarpur is transferred after seizing Rs. 1.53 Cr. and breaking a sand mining gang. Surprising @PunjabGovtIndia.”

In the first reshuffle of 13 SSPs by the AAP government, IPS officer Dhruman H Nimbale was posted out of Hoshiarpur within a week after he busted a gang of illegal sand miners and made one of the biggest cash seizures of Rs 1.53 crore.

Reffering to the transfer, Congress MLA Pargat Singh said the AAP government had transferred Hoshiarpur SSP Nimbale “who dared to register a case against the mining mafia”.

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).
