Chandigarh, March 28

The state government has decided to appoint Justice Sant Prakash (retd) as a Chairperson of the Punjab State Human Rights Commission (PSHRC).

As many as 18 applications were received by the government for the post, which was lying vacant for around seven months. The applications were examined by a three-member team comprising Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan and Leader of the Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa.

More than 10,600 cases are still pending with the Commission.

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).
