Chandigarh: Aneesh Bhanot, brother of Neerja Bhanot, the flight attendant, who sacrificed her life while saving passengers from terrorists on board a hijacked flight in 1986, died today. Aneesh is survived by a son, brother Akhil and other family members. He was 62 and lived in Sector 46.

Close family members said Aneesh was on his way back home from a walk when he collapsed at the entrance gate. He had heart ailments, they added.

He was a philanthropist and authored books on her sister’s life, including “Neerja Bhanot – The smile of courage” and “The Neerja I knew” ( a coffee table book). — 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).
