Just about four days after the Aam Aadmi Party came to power in Punjab, the state government is believed to have cleared the name of senior advocate Amol Rattan Singh Sidhu for appointment as the Advocate-General for the State. Sidhu, when contacted, said he had so far not received official confirmation/communication in this regard

Immensely popular among the advocates, Sidhu has been the president of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association no less than eight times. He has also been the chairman of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana, besides being Additional Solicitor-General of India, and Additional Advocate-General for both the States of Punjab and Haryana.

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).
