Mohali, November 29

Three students from CGC, Landran — Ishan Garg, Deepak and Rohan Das Gupta — brought laurels to the college by winning top spots in the recently concluded Chandigarh State Powerlifting Championship. Ishaan, a student of IT engineering, bagged gold in the 83kg category by lifting a total weight of 525kg in squat, bench press and dead lift. Deepak, pursuing Pharm D, won the silver medal in the 74kg weight category. He lifted a total weight of 482.5kg. Rohan, studying B Com, lifted a total weight of 372.5kg, in the 59kg weight category to claim the silver medal. All three had claimed a gold medal each in the IKGPTU Inter College Weightlifting, Powerlifting and Best Physique Tournament, held last month.

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).
