Patiala, October 11

Cabinet Ministers Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal and Chetan Singh Jouramajra today met family members of Karanvir Singh, a native of Samana, who was killed in an armed attack in California, the US.

Karanvir’s wife Navneet Kaur said her husband had gone to the US two years ago. “He worked at a store. Some people attacked him to loot the store. His friends informed me that Karanvir died due to the gunshot wounds.”

The family said they had spent more than Rs 50 lakh to send him abroad.

NRI Affairs Minister Dhaliwal said the state government would raise the matter with the Union Ministry of External Affairs. He assured the bereaved family that they would forward the application to send Karanvir’s wife and son to the US to bring back the body of Karanvir.

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).
