‘Dangal’ fame Mahavir Singh Phogat, Vinesh Phogat’s uncle on whose life the Bollywood blockbuster is loosely based on, has blamed his niece’s diet coach for her shocking exit from the Olympics hours before her final match for gold in the 50kg category.

A Dronacharya awardee, Mahavir said it was the coach’s responsibility to select a diet that ensured a wrestler’s weight remained in check. “A night before the bout, the wrestler’s weight is checked and diet is given accordingly. The diet coach is solely responsible for her being overweight,” he asserted.

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).
