Chandigarh, March 3

The team of driver Anurag Agarwal and Arjun Sharma claimed the first position in the ‘Humsafar’ 19th Blind Challenge Car Rally. Inderjeet Singh and navigator Veerpal finished second, while Swaijeet Brar and navigator Ramjanam claimed the third position.

A total of 50 cars participated in the rally with each being navigated by a blind child. The rally was flagged off from Sukhna Lake and it covered around 25 km before concluding at New Chandigarh. While the vehicle was driven by a sighted person, the navigator was blind. The visually challenged navigator read the route given in Braille, and guided the driver to the final destination.

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).
