Popular film editor Ajay Sharma passed away on May 4 in Delhi due to Covid-19 related complications. He was in his forties.

Recently, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit had sent out an SOS on Twitter seeking an oxygen bed for Ajay Sharma in Delhi as his oxygen level dropped to 83. However, the editor could not be saved. Ajay is known for editing films like Jagga Jasoos, Karwaan, Ludo and Amazon Prime series Bandish Bandits among others. Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar confirmed his demise on Twitter.

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).
