Prof BN Datta, former Dean PGIMER and former Head of Department of Histopathology, passed away on Wednesday. His body has been donated to the Department of Anatomy for research and teaching purposes.

Born in Jhelum in 1933, Prof Datta was the first faculty to join the Department of Pathology, PGIMER, in 1963 and headed the department from 1978 till retirement in 1993. Thereafter he worked in Bahrein and then as a consultant pathologist in Chandigarh.

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).
