Jalandhar, October 23

The AGI Sports Institute of India, a subsidiary of Agi Infra Ltd, organised a cyclothon here today. It aimed at fostering love for sports among young individuals and promoting clean and drug-free society.

The cyclothon, which covered a distance of approximately 8 kms, witnessed participation from over 400 cyclists from Jalandhar and the surrounding areas.

Participants were given certificates and medals. The event commenced with playing of the National Anthem, followed by flag off by Sukhdev Singh, MD of Agi Infra Ltd.

Before the race, a warm-up session, guided by yoga master Vikas Mahajan, who himself boasts a national-level table tennis background, was held. Esteemed amateur cyclists, including Major General (retd) Arun Khanna, Nitish Chada, Balraj Sahni, Baljit Singh Mahajan and K Pannu, were honoured on the occasion.

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).
