KULLU, SEPTEMBER 23

The three-day-long National Rafting Championship concluded at Pirdi here today. Forest, Youth Services and Sports Minister Rakesh Pathania was to preside over the closing ceremony but he could not attend the event.

More than 200 male and female players from 11 states participated in the championship. It was organised by the All-India Kayaking and Canoeing Association in collaboration with the District River Rafting Association and was sponsored by the Tourism and Civil Aviation Department.

The national championship was organised here for the second time in four years. In canoe slalom men’s category, HP-A team stood victorious, the ITBP team came second and the team of Jammu and Kashmir bagged the third position. In canoe slalom women’s category, HP-A team stood first, the ITBP team second and the HP-B team stood third.

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).
