Teams from 23 districts are taking part in the boys U-19 category of the basketball competition in the 69th Punjab State Inter-District School Games, which began at Guru Nanak Stadium here. The games are being organised by the Punjab Education Department under the supervision of District Education Officer (Secondary Education) Dimple Madaan.

In the preliminary round matches played on Monday, Ludhiana beat Malerkotla, Kapurthala beat Nawanshahr, Mohali beat Tarn Taran, Moga beat Barnala and Jalandhar beat Gurdaspur.

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).
