New Delhi, April 14

Haryana boxers Poonam (57kg) and Vinka (60kg) registered victories with varying degrees of difficulty to get India off to a good start at the Youth World Boxing Championships in Kielce, Poland.

The two advanced to the pre-quarterfinals after notching up contrasting wins in the first round. While Poonam out-punched Colombia’s Valeria Mendoza 5-0, Vinka edged past Russia’s Daria Panteleeva 3-2 to make the last-16 stage.

India have fielded a 20-member contingent — 10 men and as many women — for the marquee age-group event. — TNS, agencies

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).
