New Delhi, October 2

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condoled the death of Suzlon Energy founder Tulsi Tanti, popularly known as India’s ‘wind man’.

PM Modi said Tanti “was a pioneering business leader who contributed to India’s economic progress and strengthened our nation’s efforts to further sustainable development.”

A pioneer of the wind energy business in India, Tanti died of cardiac arrest on Saturday evening while returning to Pune from a press conference and other business engagements in Ahmedabad as Suzlon was to launch its Rs 1,200 crore rights issue on October 11. He was 64.

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).
