Chandigarh, April 12

The state government today issued fresh posting orders for senior police officers, including one Special DGP, six ADGPs and one IG.

Special DGP BK Uppal, who headed the Vigilance Department during the Amarinder Singh government, has been posted as Special DGP (Investigation) Lokpal.

ADGP Gaurav Yadav, Special Secretary to the CM Punjab, has been given the additional charge of ADGP (Administration). Other ADGPs given new charge include Gurpreet Deo, ADGP, Community Affairs Division and Women Affairs; Jatinder Kumar Jain, ADGP (PSPCL); SK Asthana, who was involved in the Majithia case, is posted as ADGP (Policy and Rules); Praveen Kumar Sinha, who headed the Prisons Department earlier, is the ADGP, Punjab Human Rights Commission; and Nageswara Rao is ADGP, Human Rights.

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).
