Tarn Taran, August 29

Former Tarn Taran MLA and senior Congress leader Dr Dharambir Agnihotri, who died of heart attack on Saturday, was cremated at Sheron village here on Monday. Sheron was the native village of Dr Agnihotri, which he represented as sarpanch decades ago. The body was wrapped in the flag of the Congress party.

The funeral procession, which started from the minister’s residence in Tarn Taran for the Sheron village cremation ground, was followed by his sympathisers. The pyre was lit by Sandeep Agnihotri, son of the former minister.

Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, president, PPCC, Gurjit Singh Aujla, Lok Sabha MP, Rana Gurjit Singh, MLA, Kapurthala, and many other leaders of the Congress were present on the occasion.

Tarn Taran AAP MLA Dr Kashmir Singh Sohal was also present on the occasion.

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).
