Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Batra today said he will raise the issue of dilapidated condition of Rajiv Gandhi Sports Stadium during the ongoing monsoon session of the Vidhan Sabha.

Batra said he had sought detailed response from the state government on the deteriorating state of key sports infrastructure at the stadium, including the synthetic track, toilets, changing rooms and drinking water facilities. Rohtak legislator added that he had asked for a year-wise Budget allocation from April 2019 to March 2025 for the stadium’s upkeep.

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).
