Kanwar Himmat Singh Goraya — a law student at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar — has made his institution and the city proud by winning a silver medal in the 50-m rifle (youth, men’s), and a bronze in the 50-m rifle (junior, men’s) individual events in the recently concluded India Open shooting competition in Bhopal.

Goraya’s performance in the district-level meets earned him a spot in the

state team.

He attributed his achievement to his coaches and parents, who encouraged him ever since he took up the sport as a youngster.

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).
