Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena on Wednesday proposed September 21 for the swearing-in of CM-designate Atishi following the resignation of Arvind Kejriwal from the post.

Editorial: Delhi’s new CM

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said Kejriwal would also give up security and move out of the CM's residence in 15 days to live like a "commoner". The oath ceremony of the new CM is likely to be held at Raj Niwas and expected to be a "low-key affair".

Sources said Saxena, in a communication to President Droupadi Murmu, proposed September 21 as the date for the swearing-in. Kejriwal's resignation letter had also been moved to Murmu. The sources said Gopal Rai, Kailash Gehlot, Saurabh Bharadwaj and Imran Hussain would be retained and two party MLAs would be inducted into the new Cabinet.

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).
