Ropar, February 6

Senior Akali Dal leader Bibi Satwant Kaur Sandhu passed away at Fortis hospital in Mohali on Saturday. A two-time minister and a five-time MLA from Chamkaur Sahib, Kaur would have turned 81 on February 22.

Her former AIG (Personnel) son Harmohan Singh Sandhu, who left service to join Shiromani Akali Dal in February 2019 said that she was admitted at the hospital a fortnight ago after she was found suffering from COIVD 19. “She breathed her last at 10.40 pm yesterday,” he said. She was to be cremated on Saturday.

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).
