Chandigarh, August 27

Olympic gold medallist Neeraj Chopra has ended his 2021 season, saying he hasn’t been able to resume training since coming back to India from Tokyo Olympics due to packed schedule of travel and a bout of illness.

He wrote on Instagram that he will take some time off, recharge and come back stronger for a packed 2022 calendar.

He also thanked everyone for the love and respect that he received from people back home, adding that:

“I have been encouraged by all the support to Indian athletics over these past few weeks and would urge you all to keep supporting India and Indian athletics in the months and years to come.”

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).
