Krisha Verma from Samana has won gold in the women’s 75kg category at the inaugural U-19 World Boxing Championships held in Colorado, US. She secured a unanimous 5-0 victory over Germany’s Simon Lerika in the final. This win makes her the first-ever Indian U-19 world champion in boxing.

District Sports Officer Harpinder Singh stated that it was a matter of great pride for people of the state. Krisha Verma, a prodigy of Sunny Dutta Boxing Club, Samana, has earned a gold medal in the Under-19 World Boxing Championship, bringing glory to her hometown Samana.

The District Sports Officer congratulated the athlete and her parents on this sporting achievement.

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).
