Kolkata: Seven months after they emerged I League champions, Mohun Bagan players were finally presented the winner’s trophy at a ceremony here today. The Mariners had clinched the title in March but the celebrations had to wait because of Covid-19. Mohun Bagan, who have now joined Indian Super League, had organised the ceremony at a hotel in the presence of selected invitees, keeping in mind the Covid-19 health protocols. But what followed were delirious scenes on the streets when the trophy was taken out in an open vehicle in their victory procession as thousands of fans celebrated the triumph, paying little heed to the health guidelines.

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).
