Chandigarh, May 19

The Chandigarh Golf Association (CGA) has come forward to help their registered caddies to sail through the pandemic.

Recognising the need for supporting caddies during the lockdown, members of the club have decided to provide caddies with packed lunches boxes and monetary help. The club has started transferring money directly into their bank accounts. “This is being done to ensure that the caddies receive money directly,” said Ravibir Singh, president, Chandigarh Golf Club.

“Caddies are an integral part of any Golf Club. However, they are the worst affected at the moment. They have been asked to stay at home and get themselves registered for vaccination at the earliest,” added Ravibir.

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).
