Kanpur, September 26

The Kanpur Municipal Corporation (KMC) has decided to name two streets and a park in the city after late comedian Raju Srivastava.

The road leading from Kidwai Nagar intersection to Raju Srivastava’s house and a road near the Bhuleshwar temple in Swaroop Nagar will be named after Raju.

Corporators Kamal Shukla Baby, Mahendra Pandey and Sunil Kanaujia forwarded the proposal.

According to KMC sources, Raju’s statue will also be installed in a park located in front of his house. The park will also be named after him.

The ace comedian Raju Srivastava, who hailed from the Kidwai Nagar area of Kanpur, passed away in Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on September 21 at the age of 58. IANS

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).
