New Delhi, May 26

Another Delhi-based diplomat, Bapak Ferdy Piay, Deputy Head of Mission at Indonesian Embassy, passed away in Jakarta due to Covid-related complications.

Piay had been airlifted to his home country on April 27 at the height of the second Covid wave here and could not be saved despite prolonged hospitalisation.

Among senior mission officials, diplomats from Tanzania and Slovakia have also died after contracting Covid here.

“The leadership, exemplary and kindness that you have poured out while serving in India will be the best increase that will not be forgotten,’’ said the Indonesian embassy in a condolence statement.

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).
