Holy Mary's School, Banur, achieved a notable victory by securing the second position in the Rajpura Sahodaya Chess Interschool Competition's Under-14 Boys category. The competition, which saw participation from 12 schools across the region, showcased the exceptional skills of the school's young chess players. The winning team consisted of Ridamjot Singh (Class VI-C), Bhavesh Bhatt (Class VII-A), and Nakul Kaushik (Class VIII-C), who demonstrated remarkable focus and strategy throughout the closely contested matches. Principal Dr Shiny Devassy congratulated the team, presenting them with a trophy and certificates, and applauded their efforts and sportsmanship. The achievers were further honoured in the morning assembly, receiving a warm welcome and applause from the entire school.

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).
