Chandigarh, October 6

Punjab-cadre woman IPS officer Dr Darpan Ahluwalia will be awarded the Prime Minister’s Baton and Home Ministry’s (MHA) revolver for being the best all-round IPS probationer of the 73rd Regular-Recruit batch.

Dr Darpan Ahluwalia has bagged Vice-President’s Trophy for exemplary conduct, and Martyr KS Vyas Trophy for internal security, public order, field craft & tactics
It’s after years that a Punjab-cadre IPS probationer will get the award. The present DGP, Gaurav Yadav, won the laurel in 1992

The valedictory parade will be held on October 7 at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, Hyderabad. She had earlier led the passing-out parade after being adjudged the best probationer in Phase 1 of the training.

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).
