Chandigarh, July 21

Panchkula’s Devika Sihag has claimed silver in the girls’ U-19 category of the Yonex-Sunrise All-India Junior Ranking Badminton Tournament played in Goa. She put up a tough fight against Haryana’s Unnati Hooda but lost the final 23-21, 14-21, 21-19.

In the girls’ U-19 doubles event, Devika claimed gold. Another Haryana player, Mayank Rana, also won the boys’ doubles U-19 gold.

Ajay Singhania, vice-president, Badminton Association of India, said the players of Haryana had once again shown their unmatched performance.

Devika is pursuing her studies from Bhavan Vidyalaya, Chandigarh.

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).
