Chandigarh, May 31

Seven days after the previous ADGP, Law and Order, Naresh Kumar, was shifted, Punjab government on Tuesday appointed ADGP Ishwar Singh to the post.

The IPS officer worked mainly in the Law and Order wing during the Akali and Congress regimes, including the tenure of DGPs Dinkar Gupta and Suresh Arora.

Singer Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead during the period when there was no officer heading the Law & Order wing.

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).
