Mohali, January 18

Nine-year-old Akamjot has bagged gold medals in the two-day inter-state skating championship that concluded on January 17.

Akamjot, a student of Rayat Bahra International School, Mohali, bagged gold in Rink 1, Rink 2 and in Road lap categories.

Hailing from Kharar, Akamjot started skating at the age of 6 years. Till date, he has won 14 gold, two silver and two bronze medals in inter-school, inter-district and inter-state categories. He gave the credit of his success to his grandfather Gurcharan Singh Saini and his coach Amanvir Singh.

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).
