Mumbai, February 6

Prime Minister Narendra Modi offers floral tributes to music legend Lata Mangeshkar at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park.

The Prime Minister left after paying tributes. The 92-year-old Lata Mangeshkar was given a state funeral.

Lata Mangeshkar died early on Sunday morning. She’d been admitted to a hospital in Mumbai on January 8 for Covid and pneumonia. The central government announced national mourning on Sunday and Monday over the legendary singer’s demise, a government communique said.

“During State Mourning, the National Flag will be flown at half-mast both days throughout India and there will be no official entertainment,” the communique said.

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).
