Ropar, September 26

Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur honoured seven-year-old mountaineer Saanvi Sood by inviting her at his Delhi residence yesterday.

In July, Saanvi scaled Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak of Africa. Earlier she became the youngest Indian girl to climb the base camp (5364 m) of Mount Everest. Now, her she has made it to the Asia Book of Records, India Book of Records, and Kalam’s World Record and Rising Youth Superstar Kid of 2022.

On Independence Day, the district administration honoured her with a bravery award and CM Bhagwant Mann felicitated her at his office on August 18. Now, Saanvi is preparing to scale seven summits of the world.

Thakur said her feat was a symbol of promoting girl power, empowering women and awareness among the youth on physical fitness. He promised to support her.

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).
