An Army Captain died due to “medical reasons” inside a camp here, officials said on Sunday.

Captain Rudra Pratap Singh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, collapsed at the Akhnoor military garrison late on Saturday and was immediately rushed to a hospital, they said.

The officer breathed his last during treatment, officials said.

General Officer Commanding of Jammu-based White Knight Corps Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva led troops to extend condolences to the officer’s family.

“GOC White Knight Corps and all ranks extend their deepest condolences on the unfortunate demise of Capt Rudra Pratap Singh due to medical reasons. We stand with the bereaved family in this hour of grief,” the Army said in a post on X.

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).
