Former Transport Minister Hardipinder Singh Badal on Monday passed away at a private hospital in Mohali. Hardipinder, 79, was suffering from cardiac problem.

He is survived by a daughter.

Hardipinder twice served as MLA. He was elected from Lambi in 1980 and 1985 as a SAD nominee. Later, he joined the Congress. Hardipinder was a cousin of former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.

“Hardipinder’s cremation would be held at Badal village on Tuesday,” said Major Bhupinder Singh Dhillon, a cousin of the deceased.

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).
