Chandigarh, August 20

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar congratulated all sportspersons who represented the country in the Tokyo Olympics-2020 on behalf of the House today.

He said the House was proud that this time 30 out of 127 players who participated in the Olympics were from Haryana. The House takes special pride in sharing that out of the seven medals won, three were bagged by the state players.

Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said, “The state government should recommend Neeraj Chopra to be given the post of Honorary Colonel in the Army and Ravi Dahiya, Bajrang Punia and hockey players should be directly appointed DSPs.”

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).
