Abohar, March 17

Indian-American Shree Saini was crowned the first runner-up at the Miss World 2021 beauty pageant held in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Thursday. The coveted Miss World title was won by Karolina Bielawska of Poland.

Shree Saini, hailing from Punjab, represented the US. She was last year crowned Miss World America 2021. Ludhiana-born Shree’s maternal grandparents TR Sachdeva, a progressive farmer, and Vijay Laxmi, retired teacher, were greeted by hundreds of locals in Abohar. —

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).
