Punjab Cabinet today approved the policy wherein the international and national-level medal winners of the state will be eligible for the Group A and B posts, Sports Minister Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi said in a statement.

He added that the cabinet has decided to amend the Rule 2 (d) (a) of “The Punjab Recruitment of Sportsmen Rules, 1988”, to update the definition of sportsman. With this decision, gold, silver and bronze medallists in National Games/senior national championships/recognised international tournaments would be eligible for recruitment for Class I and II posts. — 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).
