Chandigarh, August 14

On the 75th annivesary of the country’s Independence, the Punjab Government has decided to resume the Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh State Yuva Award.

After a meeting at the Directorate of Youth Services at Yuva Bhavan here, Sports and Youth Services Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said the award carried a cash component of Rs 51,000, a medal, a scroll, a blazer and a certificate.

The award is given to two youths between the age of 15 and 35 years from each district of the state.

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).
