Chandigarh, June 22

Sixteen-year-old swimmer Prathna Bhatia, a student of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector 27, has won team silver in the ongoing Special Olympics World Games in Berlin (Germany).

The Indian contingent comprising Prathna, Rachna, Aleena Antony and Prashaddhi Prakash Kamble claimed second position in the 4x25m freestyle relay by clocking 01:46.02.

The team represented Special Olympics Bharat in the championship. A student of Special Cell for Intellectually Challenged, Prathna had cleared all preparatory-cum-training camps held in four states before confirming her berth in the Indian swimming team. A national-level medallist in cycling, Prathna started swimming at the age of four.

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).
