Eminent writer and academician Prof DR Chaudhry, who was also a former chairman of the Haryana Public Service Commission and member of the Haryana Administrative Reforms Commission, passed away here on Wednesday.

He was 86 and is survived by his wife, daughter and two sons.

Professor Chaudhry was the editor and publisher of Haryana’s fortnightly newspaper ‘Peeng’. He was also a social activist and had formed Haryana Insaf Society, a non-governmental organisation.

Professor Chaudhry’s books ‘Haryana at Crossroads: Problems and Prospects’ and ‘Khap Panchayat and Modern Age’ have been highly acclaimed. — 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).
