Chandigarh, April 7

The UT Chapter of the Special Olympics Bharat organised a health camp for the divyang at the Government Rehabilitation Institute for Intellectual Disabilities (GRIID) to commemorate World Health Day.

Neelu Sarin, area director, Special Olympics Bharat, said more than 200 special athletes from six special schools of Chandigarh and Panchkula participated in this event which was jointly organised by the Special Olympics Bharat, UT Chapter, and the Government Rehabilitation Institute for Intellectual Disabilities (GRIID).

She said 18 dentists carried out a dental check-up of the athletes and their physical activities and fitness levels were also examined as per the Special Olympics FIT-5 module. Dieticians discussed food habits with the athletes.

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).
