Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria administered the oath of office to Advocate Harpreet Sandhu and Pooja Gupta as the State Information Commissioners of the Punjab State Right to Information Commission at the Raj Bhavan here today.

The swearing-in ceremony was conducted by Chief Secretary KAP Sinha. The event was attended among others by Chief Information Commissioner Inderpal Singh Dhanna, State Information Commissioners Dr Bhupinder Singh, Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal and Virinderjit Singh Billing, besides Additional Chief Secretary Governance Reforms and Public Grievances Vikas Pratap.

Sandhu had previously served as the Additional Advocate General for Punjab. Pooja Gupta is a distinguished social worker and educationist. Their appointment was officially notified by the state government on January 27.

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).
