Chandigarh, February 3

Major General Vijay Kumar Korpal has been appointed as the Judge Advocate General (JAG) of the Army. He will be the chief legal advisor to the Army Chief and be responsible for the functions of the Army’s legal department.

Prior to this, he was serving as the Deputy Judge Advocate, Headquarters Eastern Command at Kolkata. He takes over from Maj Gen Praveen Kumar, who has retired.

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).
