Punjab Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan on Tuesday congratulated Kamalpreet Kaur for sealing a place in Tokyo Olympics and setting a new national discus throw record.

In a tweet, Mahajan said: “Congrats to our #Muktsar girl #Kamalpreet Kaur for sealing her place in Tokyo #Olympics in style, setting a new national #discus throw record by clocking 65.6 m in the process. Wishing her all the very best for her #medal journey we all are waiting for. We are proud of you.”

Kaur from Kabarwala village on the Malout-Abohar national highway has made every Punjabi proud with her success of breaking the nine-year-old national record in the discus throw and qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.

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).
