Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Kiren Rijiju was on Tuesday given additional charge as MoS Defence and Ayush till the time incumbent minister of these portfolios Shripad Naik recovered after a serious accident.

Rashtrapati Bhavan as advised by the Prime Minister directed that Rijiju serve additionally as the junior minister for defence and Ayush till Naik recovered at a Goa hospital.

Naik had met with a serious accident in Karnataka. His wife and private secretary had died in the accident.

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).
