Dharamsala: The CEO of the Film and Television Producers Guild of India, Kulmeet Makkar, died in Dharamsala on Friday after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 60. He was reportedly here doing up his house. He had also discussed the possibility of bringing up a film city in Dharamsala during the Global Investors’ Meet. The Producers Guild of India said, “Makkar had the unique ability to find a way through the toughest situations” and called him their “pillar of strength.” Karan Johar tweeted: “Kulmeet, you were such an incredible pillar to all of us at the Producers Guild of India; relentlessly, working for the industry and towards its enhancement and advancement. You left us too soon. We will miss you and always remember you fondly. Rest in peace, my friend”. 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).
