The sports trials for college wings concluded today in Jalandhar. The trials were open to students from colleges affiliated with Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), Punjab Technical University (PTU) and Maharaja Bhupinder Singh University, Patiala. However, despite the wide eligibility not much participation was witnessed. Only 250 boys turned up across all sports disciplines. Many expressed concern over the diminishing enthusiasm for competitive sports among students.

“In the past, these trials would see intense competition and a flood of emerging talent. Now, it feels more like a formality,” said a coach.

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).
