Indian football legend Bhaichung Bhutia today filed a fresh nomination for the post of president in the All India Football Federation (AIFF) elections, scheduled to be held on September 2.

The 45-year-old former India captain’s nomination was proposed by the Andhra Football Association and seconded by the Rajasthan FA.

“I have filed my nomination for AIFF president’s post and I feel I am the right person for the job,” Bhaichung said.

Former Mohun Bagan and East Bengal goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey, a BJP leader from West Bengal, has also filed his nomination and is a firm favourite for the top post.

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).
