Chandigarh, January 24

A multifaceted figure in Indian architecture, Balkrishna V Doshi, who passed away in Ahmedabad today, had worked under Le Corbusier and contributed to the planning of the City Beautiful.

The Department of Urban Planning, UT, highlighted that having worked under Le Corbusier, Doshi also contributed to the planning of Chandigarh and his architectural work would always be remembered. He was known worldwide for his contribution to modern architecture through his designs for many famous buildings and campuses in India, the most noteworthy among them being IIM-Bangalore, Vidyadhar Nagar, Jaipur and NIFT-Delhi.

All officers of the UT Department of Urban Planning, on behalf of architects and public of Chandigarh, paid their last respects to the departed soul and held a two-minute silence as a mark of respect to the departed soul.

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).
