Chinmoy Naik has been appointed acting High Commissioner in Ottawa, the Indian High Commission in Canada said on Sunday. Naik has assumed charge after the previous High Commissioner, Sanjay Kumar Verma, and five other officials were withdrawn by India earlier this week amid the ongoing diplomatic row with Canada.

Naik has been the Deputy High Commissioner, High Commission of India, Ottawa, from February 2023 onwards.

A 2004-batch officer of the Indian Foreign Service, Naik has served in the Indian Embassy in Beijing and Paris. He has also handled matters pertaining to Eurasia, disarmament, new technologies and cultural diplomacy, while being posted in New Delhi.

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).
