BJP leader Vijay Sampla has been reappointed as chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC). The official orders of his appointment were issued by President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday.

Sampla was earlier appointed as the NCSC chairman in 2021, but he had resigned from the post in 2022, for contesting Punjab Assembly elections in which he suffered a defeat and lost his security deposit from Phagwara.

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).
