Chandigarh, January 18

Punjab bagged the second position in the folk song and third in folk dance competition at the National Youth Festival organised by the Government of India.

The 27th National Youth Festival was organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports in the city of Nashik in Maharashtra.

From the state, 100 youth participated in various competitions.

Taranpreet Singh bagged the second position in the folk song competition and the bhangra team came third in the group folk dance competition.

Congratulating the winners, Sports and Youth Services Minister Meet Hayer appreciated the performance of the players and said they had brought laurels to the state.

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).
