Chandigarh, September 23

Senior advocate DS Patwalia was on Thursday appointed Punjab Advocate General.

His appointment as the top law officer came following the resignation by Atul Nanda from the post soon after Capt Amarinder Singh resigned.

Patwalia has primarily been practising on the Constitutional side and is known for his proficiency in dealing with service matters. He has also been handling criminal matters.

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).
