Sukhwinder Singh (67), a resident of Chavake village in Bathinda district, died due to cardiac arrest in Pakistan's Gujranwala last night.

He was a member of the over 1,900-strong Sikh jatha which crossed over to Pakistan to celebrate the Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev on November 4.

Sources in the SGPC stated that his health deteriorated while driving in a cavalcade of buses when they were heading to Lahore after paying obeisance at Gurdwara Rohri Sahib.

He was taken to a nearest private hospital in Gujranwala where later doctors declared him dead from a heart failure.

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).
