Chandigarh, June 21

The Chess Olympiad torch, which was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from New Delhi on June 19, will reach the city on June 23.

The torch will be brought by grandmaster Deep Sengupta and received at the Rock Garden by the Chandigarh Chess Association and the UT Administration at 7 am.

The torch is schedule to travel across 75 locations in India, starting from New Delhi to Mahabalipuram, the venue of the 44th Chess Olympiad.

The All-India Chess Federation is hosting the 44th edition in Chennai (first time in India) from July 28 to August 10 and a total of 187 countries are participating it.

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).
