Ropar, August 17

The new sports policy aiming at providing suitable jobs to achievers and setting up best available facilities for the upcoming players will be announced in the coming days. This was stated by Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer here today.

Hayer, who accompanied by Ropar MLA Dinesh Chadha and Principal Secretary Raj Kamal Chaudhary, convened a meeting of the district administration regarding Punjab Khed Mela scheduled to be beginning on August 29. The minister also announced an Astroturf at Ropar.

The minister said the government was committed to provide best available facilities, including modern equipment to players, so that they could excel at all levels. The budget for the Sports Department has been increased from Rs 162 crore to Rs 223 crore, he said.

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).
