Bareilly, September 22

Former Uttar Pradesh health minister Dinesh Johri died at his house here on Friday, his family said.

The 80-year-old Johri was ailing for a long time.

Johri served as an MLA from Bareilly city assembly seat for three consecutive terms. He was elected as an MLA for the first time on a BJP ticket in 1985.

In 1991, he was made the health minister in the Kalyan Singh government.

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).
