To connect the youths with sports, playgrounds will be built in every village of the constituency, said local MLA Lakhbir Singh Rai, while addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone of the playground to be constructed at the cost of Rs 50 lakh at Dholan village today.

The MLA further urged the rural people to be a part of the decisive war against drugs initiated by the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann.

He said the government has earmarked RS. 979 crore in the budget for the construction of play grounds to connect the youth with sports.

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).
