A total of 177 athletes participated in the three-day Special Olympic Games for Divyangjan organised by the Department of Social Welfare in collaboration with Rotary Chandigarh, the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and the Special Bharat Olympics from December 11–13 at Gymnasium Hall, Punjab University.

With a vision to reach out to persons with disabilities (PwDs), the departments also put up stalls to create awareness about the Welfare Schemes and Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation Programme (SVEEP) on the theme ‘No Voter to Be Left Behind’.

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).
