Jalandhar, August 31

City-based shuttler Palak Kohli — who is a part of the Paralympics squad in Paris — has qualified for the quarterfinals in women’s singles category to be played tomorrow.

The 22-year-old was taking part in two events, including women’s singles and mixed doubles. She has fallen out from the doubles event held yesterday, wherein she had paired with IPS office Suhas Yathiraj. They lost to France’s Lucas Mazur and Faustine Noel. Her father Mahesh Kohli said, “Palak has emerged victorious in the group-stage matches. She would compete in the quarterfinals of women’s singles. She would be playing against Indonesia’s Sadiyah K.”

Palak has been coached by Gaurav Khanna at his academy in Lucknow for the last five years.

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).
