The six-day AGI Swimming Championship is set to kick off tomorrow at the swimming pools of Jalandhar Heights 1 and 2. The event is being organised by the AGI Sports Institute of India, a subsidiary of AGI Infra Limited and will feature competitions across four categories — freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke.

According to Surinder Bhambri, Managing Director of the Institute, the highest number of entries has been recorded in the under-15 boys’ and girls’ categories.

“It is encouraging to see such enthusiastic participation, especially from young swimmers in the under-10 and under-15 age groups,” Bhambri remarked.

The inaugural ceremony will take place at 5 pm on June 25 at the Jalandhar Heights 2 swimming pool, located on 66-ft Road.

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).
