A condolence meeting was organised by the Directorate of Students’ Welfare, PAU, at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Auditorium, today. Rich tributes were paid to the decorated hockey player who brought honour and repute to his alma mater.

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.
