The Punjab Government on Thursday promoted four IPS officers of the 1992 batch to the rank of Director-General of Police (DGP).

With these promotions, the state police now have eight DGPs.

Those promoted today are Sharad Satya Chauhan, Harpreet Singh Sidhu, Gaurav Yadav and Kuldeep Singh. While Chauhan is heading the security wing, Sidhu is head of the Prisons Department. Yadav is posted as Special Principal Secretary to CM Bhagwant Mann and Kuldeep Singh is in-charge of the Internal Vigilance Cell.

Yadav is son-in-law of former DGP PC Dogra and IAS/IPS/IRS training batchmate of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.

Bottom of Form

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).
