Sanjay Kothari on Saturday took oath as Central Vigilance Commissioner.

A 1978-batch Haryana cadre officer, he served as secretary to the President till recently. He took oath of office in the presence of President Ram Nath Kovind, a Rashtrapati Bhawan comminuque said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the 20-odd dignitaries who were present at the brief ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The dignitaries present including President Kovind could be seen wearing face masks.

Kothari was selected as the CVC during February this year by a panel headed by Modi. Earlier this week, former bureaucrat Kapil Dev Tripathi was appointed secretary to President Kovind.

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).
