Chandigarh, November 18

Manjit Singh Sidhu, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, has resigned, official sources confirmed today. His resignation has been accepted, a senior officer said.

Considered to be a “close friend” of CM Mann, Sidhu has resigned less than a year after he joined his office in January. There were talks about him having had a “big altercation” with a senior officer recently. CM office sources denied these as “baseless speculation”.

Sidhu could not be contacted throughout the day despite repeated attempts. He had given up his career in journalism after joining hands in the election campaign of his “friend” during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

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).
