Two women pugilists from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police’s 50th Battalion based at Ramgarh near Chandigarh have won bronze medals in the 12th edition of the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championship that concluded in Istanbul recently.

Head Constable Manisha Moun (24), a native of Matour village in Kaithal district of Haryana, won the bronze in the 57-kg featherweight category, while Constable Parveen (21), a resident Rurki in Rohtak district of Haryana, came third in the 63-kg weight category, said Battalion Commandant Vijay Deswal, who is also the nodal officer of the ITBP boxing team.

Both women boxers were today felicitated by the ITBP Director-General, Sanjay Arora, who presented them with the DG’s Disc and Commendation Roll and a cash award of Rs 1.60 lakh.

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).
