Nearly 4,000 runners from across the nation participated in the Green Marathon Season 6 conducted at Sector 6 here. The runners celebrated fitness, community spirit and environmental responsibility. The presence of Army personnel added a spirit of discipline and patriotism, while the participation of wheelchair runners and specially-abled children reinforced the marathon’s message of inclusivity, resilience and equal opportunity.

The run was organised under the banner “SBI Run for a Greener India”. The participants were provided with black alkaline water for better recovery, reducing fatigue and promoting overall well-being. With Chandigarh hosting the second leg, the marathon will now move across 17 cities.

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).
