Award-winning Indian cartoonist Sudhir Dar died on Tuesday morning after suffering a cardiac arrest, his family said. He was 87.

Dar, whose works appeared in various newspapers in a career spread over 58 years, was among the second generation editorial cartoonists who were active from the 1960s to 2000.

Dar, a Kashmiri, was born in Allahabad in 1932 and he earned a Master’s in Geography from the University of Allahabad. He began his cartoonist’s career with The Statesman in 1961 and did pocket cartoon on Page one—’Out of My Mind’.

He worked with Hindustan Times and The Pioneer. In 2000, he retired to work as a freelancer. — 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).
