Chandigarh, December 24

Neeraj Chopra, the only Indian athlete to win the gold medal in Olympics, turned 24 years old on Friday.

Wishes and congratulatory messages poured in for Olympic gold medalist on his birthday.

Chopra, son of a farmer from a village in Panipat, Haryana, made the country proud by winning the gold medal in the men’s javelin throw event at the Tokyo Olympics.

He also thanked all his well wishers for their blessings.

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).
