New Delhi, February 9

The selection trials for picking the Indian wrestling team for the upcoming Olympics qualifiers and Asian Championships will be held on March 10-11 in Patiala and Sonipat, the ad hoc committee managing the sport said.

The trials were initially planned for February 27-29 but got postponed after a delay in hosting the senior national championships due to “unavoidable circumstances”.

The trials for women wrestlers will be held at NSNIS Patiala, while the trials for Greco-Roman and freestyle grapplers will be held at SAI Sonipat. The winners of the trials in the Olympics weight category will get to represent India in the Asian Olympics qualifiers (April 19-21) and world Olympics qualifiers (May 9-12).

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).
