Vikas Garg is the new Principal Secretary, Food and Supplies department.

He has replaced Gurkirat Kirpal Singh, who held this additional charge along with charge of the Home department.

Varun Roojam, Excise Commissioner, will hold the additional charge of Taxation Commissioner.

These postings/transfers were ordered on administrative grounds.

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).
