Sonepat is set to witness a display of community unity as over 60,000 participants are registered for the “Sonepat Half Marathon - A Run Against Drugs.” Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will inaugurate the marathon on Sunday morning. .

The district administration has planned the marathon route, centred at the DeenBandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology (DCRUST), Murthal. Deputy Commissioner Dr Manoj Kumar Yadav conducted a review of the preparations on Saturday. His inspection encompassed route mapping and refreshment distribution and running kit allocation.

The marathon features three distinct categories: a 21-kilometre run, a 10-kilometre run and a five-kilometre run, catering to a wide range of participants.

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).
