Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain has been admitted to the ICU of a San Francisco hospital with heart-related problems, his family and friends said on Sunday. The 73-year-old US-based musician, who has taken the tabla to the global stage, had been having blood pressure issues, said Hussain’s manager Nirmala Bachani.

Amid reports claiming Hussain had died, his sister Khursheed said her brother was “very very critical but very much breathing at the moment”. “My brother is deeply ill. We are asking all his fans around the world to pray for him. But as India’s greatest ever exports, don’t finish him off just yet,” she said.

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).
