Boxer Sparsh Kumar has been selected in the Indian probable’s camp, meant for selecting Indian team for the Asian Boxing Championship to be held from October 30 to November 12 in Jordan. The camp is being held in the National Capital.

Son of a bus driver in Delhi, Sparsh, who originally hails from Uttar Pradesh, is a SAI Punjab trainee and also trains under Joginder Kumar, who trains young pugilists from humble background, at Bougainvillea Garden, Sector 3.

At 19, Sparsh ended his hunt for international glory by defeating Pakistan’s Syed Muhammad Asif to clinch the gold medal in the men’s 52-kg weight category in the (2019) South Asian Games in Kathmandu, Nepal. Before moving to Punjab, he had represented Chandigarh in several school nationals.

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).
