Former Supreme Court Judge, Justice Arun Mishra on Wednesday assumed charge as new head of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) ending about six month uncertainty due to the post lying vacant.

Justice Mishra had assumed office of apex court judge on July 7, 2014 and retired in September 2020.

The post of Chairman of NHRC chief had been vacant following completion of tenure of the preceding incumbent justice H L Dattu.

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).
