Chandigarh, August 21

A clash between two opposing gangs broke out reportedly at Derby Kabaddi Tournament in the UK on Sunday. Three people were injured.

A terrifying video showed hundreds of people trying to flee the scene as they frantically tried to leave the site of the event in their cars. Eyewitnesses say two opposing gangs caused the violence. A police spokesperson said: “We were called to a largescale disturbance in Elvaston Lane, Alvaston, at 3.51pm on Sunday. Three people have been injured, one seriously.

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).
