Batala-based young shooter Kanwar Himmat Singh Goraya has won a bronze medal in the 50-m Rifle Prone Youth event of the Indian Open Competition (National Rifle) being held in Dehradun. According to the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), Kanwar Himmat, who turned out for Punjab, bagged a total score of 570 points in this event.

Earlier, he had won a bronze medal in the Indian Open Shooting Championship held in Bhopal. In the Gurdaspur district championships, Kanwar had won three gold medals and two silver medals.

Kanwar is a law student at GNDU, Amritsar. He is seen as an upcoming shooter of the region. He gave credit to his coaches and parents and said “they had always encouraged me to do well even if the tide was going against me.”

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).
