The district’s Kritagya Arora and Viraj Sharma have emerged champions in the under-17 doubles category of the Open State Badminton Competition, held recently in Ludhiana. Adding to his accolades, Arora also bagged the gold in the under-17 mixed doubles category, qualifying to participate in the national-level competition, to be held in Bhubaneswar.

Talking about his achievements, Arora thanked his coach, international player Mayank Bahl.

Amritsar Badminton Association office-bearers Navjot Singh Bhullar and Jaideep Kohli extended their best wishes to Arora, wishing him a bright future.

Notably, Arora was named the runners-up in an under-17 state championship held in Jalandhar this month, having won a state championship the previous month.

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).
