Namdhari leader and Chairman of the Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA), HS Hanspal, died today at the age of 86. He breathed his last at Max Hospital in Delhi.

He had served as the president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) and represented Punjab in the Rajya Sabha for two terms.

Making a shift in his political journey, Hanspal — in 2022 — joined the Aam Aadmi Party after resigning from the Indian National Congress.

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).
