Veteran cinematographer and special effects provider Peter Pereira passed away on January 10. He was 93. Peter Pereira was popularly known for films such as Mr India, Sheshnaag, Ajooba, Border and Aa Gale Lag Jaa, to name a few. Confirming the sad demise of the cinematographer, actor Abhishek Bachchan took to his Twitter handle and penned a tribute to him. Abhishek wrote, “Our industry lost a legend today. #PeterPereira was a pioneer in Cinematography in our films. One of the greatest! I remember him fondly from the sets of my father’s films that I visited as a child. Kind, loving, dignified and brilliant. Rest in Peace, sir.” In no time, Twitterati took to the comments’ section and paid condolences. TMS

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).
