New Delhi, May 24

India’s Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has been appointed chair of the crucial committee B of the World Health Assembly which has been tasked with reviewing the global body’s budget in the midst of pandemic response and preparedness.

Each year, the World Health Assembly deliberates a long and complex list of health challenges and responses, through two committees — Committee A and B. Bhushan is a 1987 Bihar-cadre IAS officer.

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).
