Mohali, July 7

Nine-year-old mountaineer Saanvi Sood, a student of Yadavindra Public School, won laurels by making a bid to climb Asia’s highest volcanic mountain, Mt Damavand in Iran, along with her father.

In the three-day trekking, both managed to reach the altitude of 5,200m. Due to harsh weather conditions and low oxygen level, it was difficult for Saanvi and her father to continue the trek, and they decided to head back for their own safety.

Later, the ambassador of the Indian Embassy in Iran, Rudra Gaurav Shresth, also honoured Saanvi. “Climbing Mt Damavand was a wonderful experience,” Saanvi said.

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).
