New Delhi, April 23

A five-km run titled ‘Baisakhi Marathon’ was organised in New Delhi on Sunday.

Marathon runner Fauja Singh and Rajya Sabha member Vikramjit Singh Sahney flagged off the run.

More than 2,000 people participated; Olympian Gurbachan Singh Randhawa and ex-cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi were present.

Sahney said, “Youth in India have the potential to make strides in sports”.

Fauja Singh said it was important to remain fit and run every day to keep health issues away.

The marathon’s slogan was ‘Proud to be Indian, Proud to be Sikh’; the event concluded with a ‘bhangra’ performance.

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).
