New Delhi, December 31

Feeling the political heat amid farmers’ protests and a setback in the recent mayoral polls in Haryana, the BJP has brought in key party veteran Saudan Singh to shoulder organisational responsibilities in Punjab and its neighbouring states, besides beefing up party’s Dalit outreach.

The saffron party today appointed Singh as the vice-president of the organisation with the responsibilities of giving “special attention” to Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh.

Singh, who will now have his base in Chandigarh, was the joint general secretary (organisation) earlier. The BJP has also appointed party veteran V Satish as “sangathak” (organiser). He will take care of coordination with the party’s parliamentary office. — TNS

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).
