Chandigarh, December 11

Aashna Lidder, daughter of Brigadier L S Lidder who was among those killed in Tamil Nadu chopper crash, had recited a poem ‘Selfless Independence’ days before the fatal accident.

Tweeting the poem by Aashna, Kiran Bedi, former Puducherry Lieutenant Governor and country’s first woman IPS officer, said, “This is the poem Aashna Lidder (daughter of Late Brigadier Lidder who lost his life in the Helicopter Crash) recited this from her own book, on Dec 3, in the Friday Book Reading session. It was ominous when u listen to it. Life is very mysterious.”

At the cremation of her father, Aashna, 17, had said she will keep all the good memories of the 17 years she spent with her father.

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).
