Highlighting the importance the PM Narendra Modi-led govt accords to North-East, Union Home Minister Amit Shah today said not only there were five ministers from the region in the Union Cabinet, there was also a paradigm shift in development vis-à-vis insurgency-related incidents.

Shah was in Assam today as part of his two-day visit to the region. He participated in the launch and foundation stone laying ceremonies of various development projects in the state.

In Guwahati, he said, “Since Independence, not once have five ministers from North-East been selected in the Cabinet. This was done for the first time in the PM Modi’s Cabinet. This shows where North-East stands in BJP and PM Modi’s priorities.” — TNS

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).
