Attari: The “unofficial” kabaddi team, which had gone to Pakistan to participate in a championship, today returned through the Attari-Wagah land route after losing the final match to the host country. The matter had kicked up a row when the team reached Pakistan on February 9. Feigning ignorance over its participation, the Ministry of Sports and Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) had said that no clearance was granted to them to represent the country. Team manager Davinder Singh Bajwa said they participated in the tournament in their “individual” capacity and the permission was mandatory only if they played under the banner of any federation or ministry. tns

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).
