Ropar, May 28

Eight-year-old girl from Ropar Sanvi Sood has achieved another feat by climbing Mount Kosciuszko, the tallest mountain peak (2,228 m) in mainland Australia.

She reached the summit with her father Deepak Sood yesterday (around 2 pm). Deepak said though the height of Mount Kosciuszko was not a matter of much concern, inclement weather made it a difficult task for the little girl. Due to regular snowfall, the temperature had come down to -12°C and the path was covered with 10 feet snow, he said.

In July last year, Sanvi scaled African continent’s highest peak (5,895 m) Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

In June last, she became the youngest girl in India to wave the Tricolour at the base camp of Mount Everest at a height of 5,364 m.

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).
