New Delhi: The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has decided to extend the ban on the new ‘spin serve’ until the conclusion of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics Games next year. The ruling will be applied from the Thailand Open Super 500. Ahead of the Sudirman Cup, the BWF had put an interim ban on the use of the experimental serve until today. “After consultation with the badminton community, BWF council believed it best to forbid the ‘spin serve’ for another 15 months so as to not impact the Olympics and Paralympics qualifying periods,” the BWF said in a statement.

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).
