Chandigarh, August 9

In an effort to shore up the sports culture in Punjab, the state government has decided to organise a two-month long ‘Khed Mela’ for all approved (graded) disciplines from August 29, the National Sports Day.

The events will be held across the state for players in various age groups, from Under-11 to Under 21 years, masters’ categories (21 years to 40 years), apart from veterans’ categories (40 to 50 years, above 50 years). The event will be inaugurated by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in Jalandhar.

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).
