New Delhi, August 3

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will invite the Indian Olympic contingent as special guests to the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort on August 15.

Top government sources said the PM would later host the contingent members at his Lok Kalyan Marg residence.

The PM had earlier interacted with the contingent members before they had left for the Tokyo Olympics.

Throughout the Games the PM has been engaged with the Indian players, having called up the captain of the Indian hockey team Manpreet Singh and wished the team the best for the third-place playoff.

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).
