Nurpur, March 5

A seven-day mountain terrain biking training camp started at the Regional Water Sports Centre (RWSC) at the Pong Dam lake today. As many as 125 boys and girls from Haryana are taking part in the camp being organised to promote adventure tourism in Kangra district. The RWSC of Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering, Manali, has purchased 20 mountain bikes for imparting training to youths.

Rakesh Ahlwalia, in-charge of the RWSC, said the participants would undertake an biking expedition of 130 km to 170 km in a day to hone their skills. “The expedition route has been planned from the Pong reservoir to Nurpur, Kathgarh Temple and Rock Cut Temple,” he added.

He said that at the end of training, the participants would be given certificates by the state government. — OC

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).
