US President Joe Biden has nominated Indian-American lawyer-diplomat Richard Verma to a top diplomatic position in the State Department.

Biden announced his intent to nominate the former US Ambassador to India Richard Verma to be Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources. If confirmed by the US Senate, he would be the highest ranking Indian-American in the State Department.

Besides having served as the US Ambassador to India for three years till January 20, 2017, Verma was Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs during the Obama era.

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).
