Chandigarh, April 16

Chandigarh’s Samarveer and Punjab’s Radhika won silver medal in the mixed doubles event in the Junior National Rankings Badminton Tournament, which concluded at Bengaluru.

Samarveer’s coach Vivek Sharma, who accompanied the pair, said Samarveer and Radhika played really well and toppled many top seeded teams.

In the quarterfinals, the pair of Samarveer and Radhika overpowered a tough challenge by Shashak and Ashwarya (22-20, 15-21, 26-24). In the semi-finals, the duo repeated their performance by registering (21-19, 18-21, 21-12) win over Anshul Bhudwar and Awantika Pandey.

In the final match, the pair went down to Mayank and Nardhana (15-21, 10-21).

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).
