Chandigarh, April 29

The state government has restricted 2% reservation policy for children/blood relatives of deserving police personnel to only one person.

Orders issued by the DGP to this effect said since 1996, the policy was to give quota in recruitment to dependent son, daughter, brother or sister of a police personnel. However, it had been revised with immediate effect, allowing only one family member to avail the benefit of the quota. “It has been decided that the benefit for the recruitment under 1996 policy is only to be granted to one ward of the deserving police personnel,” the orders issued dated April 28 said.

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).
