Vikas Kumar, who has been a part of popular TV and web shows, like CID and Aarya, had recently started his own production house along with his friend Sharib Khan. The two started working with Ammi Media, a New York-based company for a documentary film. The shoot of the same is now complete. Vikas says, “The documentary is based on Indian women cyclists, featuring a 43-year-old woman from Delhi, Gareema Shankar, and a 57-year-old grandmother from Jaipur Renu Singhi.”

He continues, “The film crew just finished the shooting schedule in the UK, covering the cycling event in London. Gareema has been hailed as one of the ‘Heroes of LEL 2022’ and Renu Singhi became the first Indian woman ever to complete the 1500-km challenge within the stipulated time of 125 hours.”

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).
