The government today issued order giving one-year extension to Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) chief Samanta Goel and Director, IB, Arvinda Kumar.

Through another order, the government indicated there would be a change of guard in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)’s bureaucratic leadership, as Chief Secretary BVR Subrahmanyam would come back to the Centre after seeing through the process of the state losing its special status and turning into a Union Territory (UT). The tenure of both officers was set to end on June 30.

IAS officer Arun Kumar Mehta will take over as the Chief Secretary of the UT, replacing Subrahmanyam, who, on his return from J&K, will take charge as the Officer on Special Duty in the Commerce Ministry. On June 30, the latter will take charge as the Commerce Secretary. —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).
