Hisar, August 18

Wrestler Vinesh Phogat reached her native Balali village in Charkhi Dadri district around midnight. She was so tired after the hectic journey that she fell asleep on the stage meant to honour her.

She was feeling exhausted as she reached the stage. Her condition had deteriorated due to the long travel she undertook sitting on the top of the vehicle.

She covered about 125 km from the IGI airport in Delhi to Balali village in about 13 hours. She was honoured at about 100 places en route to the village.

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).
