The 75th Junior Punjab Basketball Championship for boys and girls will be held at Gurusar Sudhar near here from October 31 to November 3. The championship is being organised by the Sri Guru Har Gobind Sahib Sports Club of Gurusar Sudhar, under the aegis of the Punjab Basketball Association (PBA).

According to Teja Singh Dhaliwal, general secretary, PBA, 22 teams will take part in both the categories during the four-day championship. These teams have qualified from five zones.

Though the matches will start in the morning, the formal inauguration will be done by Dr Ankur Gupta, SSP, Ludhiana (Rural), at 4 pm, said Dhaliwal.

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).
