Sonepat, October 29

A 95-year-old-Nihang died at Singhu border early on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Sohan Singh of Muridke village in Gurdaspur. He had stayed at the border with the Nihang groups since February.

Said to be a cancer patient, Sohan had retired from the Army and was unmarried. He slept in his tent after taking medicine on Thursday night but did not wake up in the morning. The Kundli police handed over the body to his family after a postmortem at the General Hospital here.

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).
