Former governor of Jammu and Kashmir Karan Singh

Former governor of Jammu and Kashmir Karan Singh on Monday condoled the passing of Ustad Zakir Hussain who had roots in Jammu.

“I am shocked to learn that the great percussionist Ustad Zakir Hussain has passed away in San Francisco. His father Ustad Allah Rakha Khan was from a village in Jammu and always cherished his association with the Dogra. I knew Zakir Hussain from the time he was a child,” Singh said.

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).
