The Fatehabad police have arrested a District Sports and Youth Programme Officer and three others for colluding with applicants to issue fraudulent D-grade certificates. This scam allowed applicants to secure government jobs under the sports quota using these bogus certificates.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Makhan Singh, Mahavir, Rahul and Rajendra Singh Berwal. Following a complaint filed by Inspector Richpal Singh of the CM flying team on April 21, 2023, the police launched an investigation into the matter. The inquiry revealed that in 2019-20, the District Sports Officer issued 122 sports gradation certificates, with 109 classified as Grade C and 13 as Grade D.

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).
