Amitabh Sharma of Manali has been elected as an executive member of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).

Sharma’s appointment has delighted winter sports lovers in Manali, who are hopeful that he will play a crucial role in promoting winter sports in the region.

Six-time Olympian and Arjuna awardee Shiva Keshavan of Manali has also been elected to the IOA Athletes Commission as part of a 10-member panel.

Roop Chand Negi, Secretary General of Ski and Snowboard India, Ludar Thakur, president of HP Winter Games Association, Secretary Pintu Sood and Roshan Thakur, president of HP Ice Skating Association, today congratulated both Sharma and Keshavan for the achievement.

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).
