Lata Mangeshkar’s demise has created a “great void in the subcontinent’s musical arena”, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said on Sunday as she mourned the death of the “empress of music”.

In a message, Hasina said Mangeshkar would remain alive forever in the hearts of the people in the region.

“A great void has been created in the subcontinent’s musical arena with the demise of the ‘Sur Samraggi (empress of music)’,” the PM said, praying for the salvation of the departed soul and conveying her deep sympathy to the bereaved family.

President Abdul Hamid also expressed his profound shock and sorrow at the death of the legendary singer and expressed condolences to the bereaved family. —

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).
