Chandigarh, August 19

A pall of gloom spread across the local sporting fraternity, as 29-year-old Simrat Singh breathed his last, following medical complications. A seven-time baseball and softball All-India Inter-University position holder, Gill was posted at Bhavan Vidyalaya, New Chandigarh. He represented Chandigarh in school national baseball and softball championships and also represented the country in the Presidential Baseball Cup, Tehran, Iran. The Indian team had won a gold medal in this championship. His father, Dr Gurcharan Singh Gill, is an assistant professor of physical education at Sri Guru Gobind Singh College, Sector 26. — TNS

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).
