Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College (GNDEC), Ludhiana, hosted the 27th annual athletics meet of IK Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU). The event began with a march-past by athletes from 20 colleges, showcasing discipline and team spirit.

Dr Sehijpal Singh, Principal, GNDEC, welcomed all the participants, emphasising the importance of fitness and sportsmanship. Chief guest Dr Susheel Mittal, Vice-Chancellor of IKGPTU, inaugurated the meet, with Dr Vishavjeet Singh Hans.

The event featured various track and field competitions, including sprints, middle and long-distance races, hurdles, relay races, high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put, javelin throw, discus throw, and hammer throw.

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).
