The Punjab Government on Wednesday appointed ADGP Surinder Pal Singh Parmar as the Chief Director, Vigilance Bureau, replacing ADGP G Nageswara Rao, who was posted there just a month ago. Rao had replaced DGP Varinder Kumar, who headed the VB for almost three years before he was unceremoniously shunted out. Parmar is known as an experienced investigator.

He has handled several sensitive investigations, including sacrilege cases. He is currently heading the special investigation team (SIT) probe into the Patiala Colonel attack incident.

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).
