Gurugram, February 16

GD Goenka University’s first Sohna Marathon was organised here on Saturday with over 1,200 runners, including a participant from Kenya.

The marathon had a registration from Preetam Rani Siwach, former captain of the Indian women’s hockey team. Sohna MLA Sanjay Singh was present.

“The marathon’s primary objective is to increase awareness on women’s safety and promote good health by way of running,” said Prof Suku Bhaskaran, university president.

“This marathon marks the silver jubilee year of GD Goenka Group and its first edition has been very successful in creating awareness on women safety and health issues,” said Prof Jayasankar Variyar, Pro Vice Chancellor.

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).
