Hamirpur, August 13

Sports helps in the all-round development of youth and inculcates a habit of discipline among them, said Prem Kumar Dhumal, former Chief Minister, while addressing players during the closing ceremony of the sports tournament organised by Him Anchal Education and Welfare Society here on Friday evening. He said Vikas Thakur, a weightlifter from the district, had won medals in the Common Wealth Games this year and earlier, Vijay Kumar had won gold in shooting. He appreciated the initiative of Naveen Sharma, state coordinator of State Skill Development Corporation, for organising the sports event.

Naveen Sharma said that the theme of the sports tournament was ‘Youth Fit and Hamirpur Hit’.

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).
