New Delhi, July 3

Parul Chaudhary smashed the national women’s 3,000 metres record at the Sound Running meet in Los Angeles, becoming the first athlete from India to clock a sub-nine minute time in the event.

The 27-year-old from Meerut covered the distance in 8 minutes 57.19 seconds as she finished third in the race on Saturday night. Chaudhary, who specialises in steeplechase, broke Suriya Loganathan’s record of 9:04.5, set in New Delhi six years ago.

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).
