“It is with great sadness that I have to inform that I lost my elder son, Ashish Yechury to Covid-19 this morning. I want to thank all those who gave us hope and who treated him—doctors, nurses, frontline health workers, sanitation workers and innumerable others who stood by us,” Yechury tweeted.

Ashish passed away at 5.30 am at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram. He was infected with the virus about two weeks ago. He is survived by his wife, Swati.

“Condolences to Shri Sitaram Yechury ji and his family on the tragic and untimely demise of his son, Ashish. Om Shanti,” Prime Minister Modi said on Twitter.

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).
