Chandigarh, June 5

Local cyclist Reet Kapoor brought double laurels for Chandigarh today. She became the first female cyclist from the city who has been selected to represent India in the Asian Track Cycling Championship, to be held in New Delhi from June 18 to 22. She is currently attending National Coaching Camp for the above mentioned championship at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, New Delhi.

She also won a bronze medal in the ongoing Khelo India Youth Games today. Reet, a Khelo Indian athlete (cycling), is a student of Carmel Convent School, Sector 9. Despite having no facility of cycling in Chandigarh, she managed to get selected in the Indian team.

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).
