The women’s kabaddi team gave Himachal its first gold medal in the ongoing National Games in Uttarakhand, defeating Haryana 27-22 in the final.

Incidentally, it’s the third consecutive gold medal for the women’s team in National Games. “Our girls had clinched gold medal in the two previous editions of the National Games held in Goa and Ahmadabad as well,” said Kuldeep Rana, the coach of the team.

Led by skipper Pushpa Rana, the team performed really well throughout the tournament and defeated the strong Haryana team in the final. “The best performance in the final came from Bhawna and Pushpa, these two set up the game for us,” the coach said. Rajesh Bhandari, Secretary, Himachal Pradesh Olympic Association, and Raj Kumar Bharanta, president of the State Kabaddi Association, congratulated the team for winning the gold for the state.

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).
