A 78-year-old man died after collapsing at the UT Secretariat on Tuesday.

According to sources, Charanji Singh, the deceased, had come to attend a hearing in a case related to building violation of his house in the court of the Chief Administrator-cum-Finance Secretary. His health deteriorated when officials fixed the next date of hearing in the case. He was rushed to the Government Multi-Speciality Hospital in Sector 16 where doctors declared him brought dead.

The police have recorded the statements of his family members, including his wife.

According to his kin, the building violation case pertained to a room in the backyard of their house and has been pending for many years. — TNS

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).
