Dabwali will host a grand Youth Marathon on August 24 to spread awareness about the dangers of drug abuse, with CM Nayab Singh Saini attending as the chief guest. The event is expected to draw thousands of enthusiastic participants and will feature cash prizes worth over Rs 6 lakh.

Open to both men and women across all age groups, the marathon offers three race categories — 5 km, 10 km and 21.1 km. The 21.1 km race will award Rs 50,000, Rs 37,500 and Rs 25,000 to the top three winners in the overall category. In the age-wise categories, the top three will receive Rs 10,000, Rs 7,500 and Rs 5,000 respectively.

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).
