Kullu, January 28

The winter sports state championship will be held at Hamta, near Manali, on January 31 and February 1. A technical committee of the Himachal Pradesh Winter Games Association finalised the venue. The committee explored various slopes at the Solang Nullah and Dhundhi, near Manali, and Sissu and Gondhla in the Chandra valley of Lahaul but found the amount of snow to be inadequate for the championship. It finally selected the slopes at Hamta.

Association president Luder Thakur said around 150 sportspersons from all over the state would participate in various events. He said the selection committee would finalise the sportspersons for various winter games in the Junior National Championship to be held at Gulmarg in Kashmir from February 6 to 10. — 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).
