The Ministry of Home Affairs has created the post of Chief Secretary in Chandigarh and abolished that of Adviser to the UT Administrator. So far, the post of Adviser has been filled from the AGMUT cadre of IAS officers. The post is held by Rajeev Verma at present.

According to the MHA notification, the strength of IAS officers in Chandigarh has been increased from nine to 11. Now, the UT will have separate post of Secretary Urban Planning/Smart City and Commissioner Excise.

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).
