After an impasse to two years, Sardar Balwant Singh Kapur Memorial Hockey Tournament will be held from January 15 to 22. The winners of the tournament are honoured with Mata Parkash Kaur Cup. The tournament was slated to be held this year, but was postponed owing to certain reasons.

The tournament and Mata Parkash Kaur Cup are symbolic of togetherness of a family. It is a story of six brothers — Gursaran Singh Kapur, Harbhajan Singh, Manjit Singh, Manmohan Singh Kapur, Tirath Singh, and Hardeep Singh who are keeping alive the memory of their parents for the last several years. Unfortunately, Manmohan Singh Kapur passed away a year ago.

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).
