The Union Territory of Ladakh is participating in archery and boxing in the upcoming Third Khelo India Youth Games 2020 in Guwahati, Assam, scheduled to start from January 10 to 22.

Two sportspersons are representing the Union Territory Ladakh in the Khelo IndiaYouth Games in archery and five in boxing.

Tsering Tashi, District Youth Services and Sports Officer, Leh, said, “ A total of 24 sportspersons of Leh district have registered for the upcoming Khelo India Youth Games 2020. However, only seven sportspersons have been selected.” He further said, “At present, we have national or state-level sportspersons in boxing, table tennis and archery and the tally of national players will soon increase with the establishment of the unit of the Sports Authority of India, which is in the pipeline.”

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).
