Mohali, February 1

The state government has removed Manisha Gulati as the chairperson of the Punjab State Commission for Women, from her post. Gulati’s tenure was supposed to end on September 18. “As per Section 4 (1), the chairperson is mandated to hold office for a period of three years only. There is no provision of extension beyond three years in the Act for the sitting chairperson or the member of the Punjab State Commission for Women,” reads a letter issued by the Additional Chief Secretary of Social Security, Women and Child Welfare Department, Kripa Shankar.

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).
