A total of 112 aspirants (72 boys and 40 girls) attended trials, conducted by the Punjab Basketball Association (PBA) to select teams at Guru Nanak Stadium here on Friday. These trials were organised to select probables for the upcoming Sub-Junior National Basketball Championship to be held from October 4 to 10 at Dehradun in Uttarakhand.

A panel of selectors, including Jaipal Singh, Jaspreet Singh, Rahuldeep Singh, Saloni and Ravinder Singh, shortlisted 23 boys and 20 girls. These probables would attend a coaching camp here till October 1, prior to the final selection of the teams for the national championship.

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).
