The ongoing 69th Ludhiana District School Games, being organised by the Punjab Education Department at various venues across the district have been abandoned. Given the incessant rains during the last couple of days, the district administration has issued orders for closure of schools to ensure students’ safety, due to which the games have been abandoned, according to Kulveer Singh, District Sports Coordinator.

The new dates for the games will be announced once the weather improves and it’s safe to proceed, said Kulveer.

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).
