Hamirpur, August 4

Vikas Thakur, who hails from Patnaun village of the district, has won a silver medal in men’s weightlifting 96 kilogram category at Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

His native village was elated by his achievement. Kumar Chand Thakur, uncle of Vikas, said a grand function would be organised for Vikas when he would arrive here on August 13. Vikas had brought laurels not only to the district but to the state and country, he added. His uncle also distributed sweets in 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).
