Chandigarh, March 13

During the special session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha held today, obituary resolution were passed to pay tributes to Faqir Chand Aggarwal, former Deputy Speaker of Haryana Legislative Assembly. Aggarwal passed away on March 6. He was elected to the Haryana Legislative Assembly in 1996, and remained the Deputy Speaker of the Haryana Legislative Assembly from May 22, 1996, to December 14, 1999.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini paid tributes and read out the obituary resolution. Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta also paid tribute to the departed soul. Congress MLA Raghuvir Singh Kadian read the obituary resolution on behalf of the party.

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).
