Former Kerala Health Minister M P Govindan Nair died here on Wednesday morning. He was 96 years old.

Nair died of age-related ailments at his residence here, family sources said.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan offered his condolences on the death of Nair, who was the Health Minister during Congress rule in the state from 1962 to 1964.

Prior to retiring from active political life, he was a Member of Parliament and the President of the Travancore Devaswom Board.

The last rites would be held on Thursday, family sources said. 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).
