Richmond (US), July 19

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has appointed Indian-American gastroenterologist, Dr Bimaljit Singh Sandhu, to a key administration position in the health sector.

Dr Bimaljit Singh Sandhu on Tuesday was sworn in as a board member of the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System Authority, a position in which the Indian American will play a key role in the state’s health education system.

Hailing from Faridkot in Punjab, he migrated to the US in 2004 as a faculty member of Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center as a gastroenterologist.

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).
