New Delhi, May 23

The government today appointed Vinai Kumar Saxena, chairman of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, as the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi in place of Anil Baijal, who had resigned from the post last week citing personal reasons.

In a communiqué from the Rashtrapati Bhavan, President Ram Nath Kovind accepted Baijal’s resignation as the Delhi L-G and appointed Saxena in his place.

Saxena played a critical role in bringing to fore the violation of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act by the NGO connected with social activist Teesta Setalvad.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter to welcome Saxena and assured “full cooperation” from his 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).
