New Delhi, September 15

Former foreign secretary and seasoned diplomat Kanwal Sibal is the frontrunner for the position of chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University.

The government is likely to announce the appointment soon. Even before the formal appointment congratulations poured in for Sibal, who has previously served on the National Security Advisory Board.

Acclaimed academician Amitabh Matoo posted congratulations for Sibal on X, saying he was an excellent choice for the position.

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).
