Amritsar, December 27

Amritsar Gaming Association (AGA) coordinator and former secretary Surinder Arjun has criticised the body for failing to honour IPL player and all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, who recently won the title of India’s best cricket player in the Mohammad Mushtaq Ali cricket tournament played at the international level.

Arjun said he has also brought the issue to the notice of Manish Agarwal, district Aam Aadmi Party convener and deputy chairman of the Punjab Gau Seva Commission.

Arjun added that Agarwal had assured him that he would meet Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and ask him to honour Abhishek Sharma with a state-level award.

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).
