NURPUR, MAY 2

Forest, Youth Services and Sports Minister Rakesh Pathania said the indoor stadium being built at a cost of Rs 10 crore here would be named after former Prime Minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

While laying the foundation stone of Rs 3.13 crore’s multi-storey shopping complex-cum-parking lot in the same ground on Monday, he said 80 shops would be constructed in the double-storey complex with a parking facility for 200 light vehicles.

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).
