After the demise of ace comedian Raju Srivastava, stand-up comedian Parag Kansara, of The Great Indian Laughter Challenge fame, has passed away due to a heart attack. The comedian breathed his last on Wednesday, October 5. He was 51. The news of his demise was shared by comedian Sunil Pal. Sharing a video on Instagram, Sunil wrote, “Our fellow contestant in the Laughter Challenge, Kansara ji, is no longer with us.”

Sunil recalled his time with Kansara and said, “We used to laugh a lot with him. Parag bhaiya is no more in this world. A few days ago, Deepesh Bhan and Raju bhai passed away. One comedian after another is leaving us. What is this? Has the comic world caught the evil eye? I don’t know why people who make everyone laugh and their families are going through this… One by one, the pillars of comedy are moving away from us.”

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).
