The state government has dug its heals in over the appointment of Bhakra Beas Management Board Secretary, even after the BBMB rejected its move to appoint Harinder Pal Singh Bedi to the post.

The government ordered the appointment of Chief Engineer Bedi as the BBMB secretary last week to counter the appointment of Haryana Engineer-in-Chief Rakersh Chauhan as the Member (Irrigation) in the BBMB. After the BBMB objected to the appointment, the Haryana Government rescinded its order.

The BBMB had also objected to the appointment of Bedi. Now, a letter has been sent to the BBMB Chairman stating that the Punjab Government has complied with the BBMB rules. The board has been urged to allow Bedi join as Secretary, once the tenure of the incumbent Secretary ends on February 28.

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).
