Moga, January 16

Renowned kabaddi player Amarpreet Singh Amri died of cardiac arrest at Surrey in Canada on Monday.

He hailed from Patto Hira Singh village of Nihal Singh Wala sub-division of Moga district.

Twenty-eight-year-old Amri went to Canada to get married there in December last year.

Amri was a known kabaddi raider in the area. His sudden death weeks after his marriage has shocked the sports fraternity.

His family is yet to comment on whether his body would be brought to his native village for cremation.

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).
