Prashant Kumar Singh, a 1993-batch IAS officer, has been appointed as the Chief Secretary of the strife-torn state of Manipur.

On January 11, Singh, who belongs to Manipur cadre, had been repatriated to Imphal at the request of the state government.

Singh was Secretary in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy prior to his repatriation to Manipur.

The development three weeks after the appointment of Vineet Joshi as the Higher Education Secretary at the Centre. Singh assumes charge as Manipur chief secretary just days after another former bureaucrat AK Bhalla was appointed as the state’s Governor.

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).
