Chandigarh, August 30

CM Manohar Lal Khattar today announced Rs 6 crore award for Sumit Antil for winning a gold medal and setting a world record in javelin throw, and Rs 4 crore for Yogesh Kathuniya for winning a silver medal in discus throw (F-56) at Tokyo Paralympics.

The state government will also give government jobs to them.

The CM said Antil not only won the hearts of the people of Haryana, but also the entire nation. He also wished Yogesh, a resident of Bahadurgarh, a bright future.

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).
