Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Thursday that Haryana had emerged as the sports powerhouse of the country. Though the state accounted for only 2 per cent of the country’s population, the largest number of medal-winning athletes in the Olympics, Paralympics, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games were from the state, he said.

The Chief Minister was addressing a gathering at the Sports, Fitness and Infrastructure Expo organised at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, was the chief guest.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
