New Delhi, August 3

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today carried out a major reshuffle of her Cabinet as she inducted eight new faces, including former Union Minister Babul Supriyo who quit the BJP and joined the Trinamool in September 2021 after being dropped from the Union Council of Ministers.

While five, including Supriyo, were sworn in as Cabinet Ministers, the remaining three were inducted as Ministers of State. The reshuffle followed Partha Chatterjee’s arrest, forcing Mamata to drop him from the Cabinet. Supriyo was elected from the Ballygunge Assembly on the Trinamool ticket in April 2022.

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).
