City shuttler Samarveer brought laurels in the recently concluded National Junior Rankings Badminton Tournament held at Goa.

Samarveer not only qualified for the main draw and reached into the boys’ U-19 quarterfinals, but also won a bronze medal in the mixed doubles event. Samarveer and his partner Radhika defeated Daksh Gautam and Jiya Rawat (19- 21, 21-19, 21-16) to reach the semi-finals.

However, the local pair lost to Sathwik Reddy and Vaishnavi (20-22, 16-21) in the semis.

Surinder Mahajan, general secretary of the Chandigarh Badminton Association (CBA), and joint secretary of the Badminton Association of India, said: “Samarveer is a talented and hardworking player. We have high hopes from him in the future,” said Mahajan. Col Raj Parmar, senior vice-president, CBA, congratulated Samarveer and his coach Vivek Sharma.

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).
