Srinagar, February 17

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday visited bat manufacturing units in south Kashmir, signifying a milestone for the industry. He is the first top cricketer in the world to visit such units in Kashmir Valley. Tendulkar was seen examining bats of various sizes during his visit. He also interacted with workers at these units.

Accompanied by his wife Anjali and daughter Sara, Tendulkar visited the MJ Sports bat manufacturing unit in Charsoo Awantipora and remained for nearly an hour at the facility.

Mohammad Shaheen Parrey, the owner of MJ Sports, was excited. “The visit will give a major boost to the Kashmir bat industry.” The region boasts over 300 bat manufacturing units in south Kashmir alone, collectively supplying around four million cricket bats within and outside the country.

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).
