The Army Force Corps (AFC) Jalandhar delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Hockey Club Gaggarbhana in the opening match of the 47th Baba Pallaji Memorial Hockey Tournament, which began at Butala village on Sunday.

The three-day open tournament kicked off with AFC’s strong performance. Vishal Kumar, Gurpreet Singh and Sanjit Topo scored field goals for the winning team, while Gaggarbhana struggled to match the AFC’s pace and skill.

The second match saw a closely contested battle between Doaba XI and ITBP Jalandhar, with the ITBP team emerging victorious after a penalty stroke.

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).
