Chandigarh, September 18

Inspector General Iqbal Singh Chauhan, has taken over as the Commander Coast Guard Region (North East), Kolkata. Hailing from Gurdaspur in Punjab and an alumnus of Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, he belongs to the 13th Direct Entry Coast Guard Course.

During his career of over three decades, Chauhan has commanded all types of Indian Coast Guard ships. Important shore appointments held by him include Coast Guard Commander for the state of West Bengal and Gujarat and officer in-charge Coast Guard work-up organisation.

A recipient of the Tatrashak Medal, he is an alumnus of the College of Defence Management, Secundrabad and the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie. He holds a masters degree in management science.

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).
