Kolkata, September 15

A 28-year-old doctor who was diagnosed with dengue died at a hospital in Kolkata on Friday, raising the toll to 25 this year, an official said.

Doctor Debodyuti Chattopadhyay, an opthalmologist, breathed his last in the early hours due to dengue hemorrhage shock syndrome, he said.

Chattopadhyay, who recently had a renal transplant, became diabetic after the surgery, and suffered a multi-organ failure, leading to the death, the official said.

He was a resident of south Kolkata’s Garfa area.

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).
