Fatehgarh Sahib, July 2

The body of former Deputy Speaker Bir Devinder Singh will be taken to his residence in Patiala from the PGI, Chandigarh, via Mohali, Landran, Chunni and Sirhind on Monday at 9 am. His body will be kept at the compound in front of Gurdwara Jyoti Swarup in Sirhind where people would pay homage to the departed soul.

The mortal remains of former Deputy Speaker would be cremated in the noon at Badungar in Patiala, said Gurnam Singh Bhaironpur, his political secretary.

Bir Devinder Singh was elected MLA for the first time from the Sirhind constituency in 1980. He belongs to nearby Kotla Bhai Ka village and has a good following in Sirhind and the adjoining area.

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).
