Wrestler Deepak Punia (86kg) has been ruled out of the upcoming World Championships in Belgrade.

The 23-year-old from Haryana’s Chhara village sustained an injury in his left hand. Punia had won silver at the 2019 World Championships in the 86kg category.

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) conducted trials in the 86kg category today and selected Sanjeet for the World Championships. WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar confirmed the development today.

“Ravi Dahiya has left for Russia and will join the squad in Serbia later. Bajrang Punia (65kg) will also arrive in Belgrade on September 10,” Tomar said.

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).
