City's 13-year-old Myraa Khattar claimed the overall top position at the IIT Mumbai Under-17 Talent Competition, where her command over twelve international accents distinguished her as a standout participant.

Khattar grabbed the top position for speaking in 12 different foreign accents at the age of 13. Myraa is not only a gifted linguist but also one of India's youngest researchers, a published author, and a national-level yoga champion. In recognition of her multidisciplinary brilliance, Microsoft formally appreciated Myraa.

"I've always believed in myself and in a higher force that guides me. Each day has been a learning experience - full of effort, growth, and gratitude," said Myraa.

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).
