The felicitation ceremony for 2024 Paris Olympics medal winners and participants at the Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, has been cancelled for Saturday, the Haryana sports department officials said.

The officials said with the announcement of assembly elections in the state, the Model Code of Conduct has come into force due to which the function had to be cancelled. A meeting of the officials was held in Rohtak on Friday evening in which the decision was officially communicated, sources said.

A Haryana sports department official based in Chandigarh confirmed the development.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was scheduled to honour the Paris Olympics athletes.

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).
