Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini met Padma Shri awardees, renowned author Sant Ram Deswal and Paralympic gold medallist Harvinder Singh here today.

He presented a shawl and memento to Deswal and Harvinder Singh, and congratulated them on receiving the award.

Deswal is a scholar of Haryanvi folk literature as well as Hindi literature. His life has been dedicated to promoting folk culture, Hindi literature, education, research and social service.

Harvinder Singh is the first Indian para-archer to win medals for India in both the Paralympics and Asian Para Games. In recognition of his outstanding achievements, he received the prestigious Arjuna Award in 2021. The Haryana Government honoured him with the Bhim Award in 2022.

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).
