In 1901, the newspaper was bought by Mukunda Bihari Chakrabarty,B.A. from Brahman Kham Bikrampur and Radharaman Ghosh,B.A., a retired secretary of Niradchandra Manikya, the late Maharaj of independent Tripura. Anecdotes suggest that Radharaman bought the newspaper after an incident where Surendranath Banerjee, editor of The Bengalee in Calcutta, insinuated that no newspaper in Dhaka were of quality worth reading. Soon after, Mukunda Bihari Chakrabarty, took sole responsibility of running the newspaper and also became an editor. In 1902, the newspaper changed its dimensions to double crown size. For the next thirty years, those who assisted Mukund Bihari included Pundit Rajkumar Chakrabarty, Pundit Priyanath Vidyabhusan, Nishikanta Ghosh, Girijakanta Ghosh, Umeshchandra Bose, Harihar Gangapadhyay, Madhusudan Chowdhury, and Purnachandra Bhattcharja. During this tenure, the newspaper continued to take a centrist stance with the goal to promote balance between the government and the citizens. As a result, the newspaper experienced obstacles during the 1905 Partition of Bengal and Swadeshi Movement.
