Chandigarh, February 13

The Sports Department has invited applications for awarding cash prizes to sportspersons and coaches, who won medals in 2020-21 and 2021-22.

Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said cash awards to players as well as coaches would be given to honour their achievements and motivate them for competitions.

He said earlier, players and coaches had been deprived of cash prizes, but under the Bhagwant Mann government, the Sports Department had now sought applications to give them their due rights. The last date to apply for is March 6.

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).
