Chandigarh, February 20

Specially-abled players Ajeya Raj and Anjali Thakur bagged a rich haul of medals during the 8th Boccia National Championship. Raj, a C4 Quadriplegic, clinched a silver medal in the individual category and a gold medal in the pairs. Similarly, Anjali, overcoming the hurdles posed by her disability as a C5-C6 individual, displayed unwavering dedication and passion for Boccia, securing gold medals in both the individual and pairs categories.

Rajeev Verma, Adviser to the Administrator, Chandigarh, interacted with the triumphant players of Chandigarh Spinal Rehab. The Sports Department is underway in developing a Boccia Court at the Sports Complex, Sector 8, fulfilling the request of the Chandigarh Spinal Rehab players. —

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).
