Satnam Singh, father of the forward player of India’s women’s hockey team, Navjot Kaur, switched off his TV at his home here to calm himself down in the last few minutes of the match against Australia.

Satnam Singh said, “It was an intense match and my heartbeat started to increase. To calm myself down, I switched off the television set. The way the girls played bravely against the strong Australian team was commendable.” — TNS

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).
