Jalandhar, March 18

Sardar Chand, a 78-year-old man from Jalandhar, has won a gold medal in the 400mt race and a silver and a bronze medal in the 200mt and 100mt races respectively, at the Punjab State Masters Games organised by Punjab Masters Games Association at Lovely Professional University here recently.

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).
