Panaji, June 6

Ved Marwah, former Delhi Police Commissioner who later served as Governor of Mizoram, Manipur and Jharkhand, died in Goa on Friday. He was 87.

He breathed his last at a private hospital in Mapusa town, acting DGP Jaspal Singh said. Marwah was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago after he suffered a fall at his residence. Marwah lived with his family at Siolim village in North Goa, he said.

“He was a very illustrious police officer, who headed the force when terrorism was at its peak. He led the battle against terrorism,” the DGP said. Marwah was the Police Commissioner of Delhi from 1985-88 and served as the third Director General of the elite National Security Guard from 1988-90. He was also Adviser to the Governor in Jammu and Kashmir and Bihar. — 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).
