Composer Shravan Rathod of popular music director duo Nadeem-Shravan passed away on Thursday due to Covid-19 related complications, his son said. Rathod was 66.

The composer was admitted to SL Raheja hospital in a “critical” condition after testing positive. He breathed his last in the hospital. “He passed away around 10.15 pm. Please pray for his soul,” his son Sanjeev Rathod said. Nadeem-Shravan were among the most popular music composers in the 90s, giving chartbuster soundtracks in films like “Aashiqui” (1990), “Saajan” (1991), Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Pardes” and “Raja Hindustani”. — PTI

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).
