Chandigarh Amateur Boxing Association (CABA) today honoured Charanjit Singh Virk, general secretary of the association, for getting elected as the Executive Member of the Boxing Federation of India. Virk, who is a DSP in Chandigarh Police, was elected to the post by securing 36 out of 66 votes.

Virk was elected secretary of the local boxing association in 2023.

He had represented the country in international boxing and won several medals during early eighties. He won gold in the All-India Inter-University Boxing Championships during his college days.

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).
