Chandigarh, March 11

Seven boxers from The British School Boxing Academy here have been selected to represent the city in the All India Inter-District Sub-Junior Boxing Championship, scheduled to be held at the National Boxing Academy in Rohtak.

Aryan (37-40kg), Bhavesh (40-43kg), Sumit Dhull (43-46kg), Sonu Chahal (49-52kg), Sumit Attri (52-55kg ) will compete in the boys’ category, while Kiran (33-35kg) and Sanya (43-46kg) will represent the girls’ team.

Boxers from all the districts of India will compete in the first of its kind inter-district combined tournament, which is being organised by the Sports Ministry as a part of its “early talent scouting” programme in partnership.

The tournament was earlier scheduled to be held from March 15, but has now been postponed till next 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).
