Indian boxers wrapped up their campaign at the inaugural Asian U-15 & U-17 Championships in style, adding four gold medals on the final day to finish second overall.

India’s tally comprised 15 gold, 6 silver and 22 bronze medals, placing them behind table-toppers Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan finished third.

The final day of the tournament saw the Indian U-17 contingent bag four more gold medals — all from the girls’ division. Khushi Chand (46kg) registered a hard-fought 3-2 win, while Ahaana Sharma (50kg) and Jannat (54kg) delivered dominant 5-0 victories. Anshika (80 kg) ended her bout with a first-round referee stops contest.

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).
