Vani Puri, a student of BA-II at Government College for Girls (GCG), here brought fame to her alma mater by winning a gold medal in the Northeast Zone Inter-University Weightlifting Championship, held at the Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, on January 20.

Vani competed in the below 49kg weight category and annexed top honours. For the outstanding performance, she has been selected to participate in the All India Inter-Universities Weightlifting Championship, scheduled to be held in Himachal Pradesh, next month.

Principal Suman Lata and Head of the Department of Physical Education Nivedita Sharma applauded her achievement and wished good luck for the national inter-universities 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).
