The four-day selection trials to shortlist Ludhiana players in 13 sports disciplines for the forthcoming state-level Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan, began here today. These games, to be organised by the Punjab Sports Department are slated to be organised next month at different venues across the state.

Today, the selections were held in baseball, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, rugby, rowing, rowing, roller skating, kayaking and canoeing at different venues — SCD Government College ground; Punjab Agricultural University velodrome; multipurpose indoor hall, opposite Guru Nanak Stadium; GHG Khalsa College ground, Gurusar Sudhar, and Lesisure valley rink at Sarabha Nagar.

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).
