Abu Dhabi: An Indian ultra-marathon runner, known as the ‘Barefoot Mallu’ ran solo from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, covering 118 km in 27 hours to inspire the youth of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to make fitness a priority, it was reported. Bengaluru-based Aakash Nambiar, 30, a native of Kerala, began his long-distance run along the E11 highway on January 25 from the Abu Dhabi Corniche and reached Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai hours later on January 26, coinciding with India’s 71st Republic Day, the Gulf News reported on Friday.

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).
