Shimla, May 3

Peeyush Sharma, a wheelchair table tennis (TT) player from Shimla, bagged the bronze medal in the National Para Table Tennis Championship held in Indore in Madhya Pradesh from April 27 to 30. He is the only international wheelchair TT player who represents Himachal Pradesh.

Peeyush won bronze at the national championship for the second time consecutively. He hails from Shimla and did his schooling from St Edward’s, B.Tech from NIT-Hamirpur and PG fellowship from Plaksha University. Currently, he is working with an American company in Bangalore. He has represented Himachal in several national and international sports events in the past.

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).
