Ferozepur, November 5

Days after former MLA Ravinder Singh Sandhu died of dengue, Amardeep Singh Shergill (58), president of the district consumer court, has succumbed to the virus.

As per information, Amardeep Shergil was admitted to a private hospital in Chandigarh a few days ago after his health deteriorated. While Shergill belonged to Gurdaspur district, he was staying in Mohali for the past few years. A few days ago, his son had left for Canada for higher studies, while his daughter is practising law at Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh. Bar Association president Jasdeep Singh Kamboj has mourned Shergill’s demise.

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).
