Jhajjar, May 9

Former chairman of the Haryana Swatantrata Sainani Samman Samiti and Indian National Army (INA) veteran, Ch Lalti Ram, passed away at his house in Dubaldhan village here on Sunday.

He was 100-year-old.

Beri BDPO Ram Karan Sharma and DSP Rahul Dev attended the last rites and paid tributes to the departed soul on behalf of the district administration.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed his condolences through his tweeter handler. “Saddened by the demise of INA veteran Lalti Ram ji. His courage and contribution to India’s freedom struggle will never be forgotten. I recall my interactions with him. Greats like him have left an indelible mark on India’s history.”

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and BJP state president OP Dhankar also expressed their grief over the demise of Lalti Ram.

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).
