Patiala, August 4

City fencer Arjun has been selected for the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, China, from September 23 to October 8.

His name was announced by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) recently. The 26-year-old is otherwise commissioned in the Indian Army as Havildar. He is part of the four-member (except two reserve) team of foil fencers.

Earlier, Arjun was a part of the Indian squad in the Asian Championship held in June where the team was finished seventh. He had bagged a silver medal in the individual category and a gold medal in the team foil event at the National Games. Arjun has been playing the sport for the last over 12 years.

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).
