A total of 71 players (women), from across the state, attended selection trials conducted by the Punjab Handball Association (PHA) under the aegis of the Punjab Olympic Association (POA) at the Government Senior Secondary Smart School ground, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), here on Sunday.

Sukhbir Singh, general secretary, PHA, said the selection committee watched these aspirants during the trials and shortlisted 25 players. The list of the selected players was forwarded to the POA, he said.

These players would attend a preparatory camp after confirmation from the POA. The state’s team for the 38th Senior National Handball Championship, slated to be held in Uttarakhand, would be finalised from among these campers, said Sukhbir Singh.

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).
