Chandigarh, June 7

The Chandigarh Badminton Association honoured players, who have been helping the needy during the lockdown and attending regular practice sessions, at the Sector 38 Sports Complex.

Col Raj Parmar, senior vice-president of the association, and Surinder Mahajan, general secretary, felicitated 16 players. The association also announced starting online training schedules for maintaining the minimum presence of trainees at the complex.

“The aim of imparting at-home training is primarily to keep the players physically fit and technically abreast so as to enable them in achieving the adaptation stage at the earliest,” said Mahajan. More than 400 shuttlers practice at the complex, which is under the UT Sports Department.

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).
