Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday appointed Subhankar Sarkar as the new president of the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, replacing Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.

A press note issued by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) expressed appreciation for Chowdhury’s contributions during his tenure as the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee president. Sarkar, who was previously serving as the AICC secretary, has been relieved of his current position to take on this new role.

In addition to this, Kharge also appointed MK Bhardwaj and Bhanu Mahajan as the acting working presidents of the Congress unit in Jammu & Kashmir, where Assembly elections are currently underway.

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).
