Chandigarh: The Boxing Federation of India has nominated Charanjit Singh Virk, secretary general, Chandigarh Amateur Boxing Association, as observer for the Paris Olympics, as part of President BFI delegation. Virk, a former international boxer was elected secretary general of the local association, last September.

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).
