Four Indian boxers stormed into the quarterfinals of the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul today. Nikhat Zareen (52kg) made light work of Mongolia’s Lutsaikhan Altantsetseg. Parveen (63kg) beat Jajaira Gonzalez of USA, while Anamika (50kg) dispatched Kristy Lee Harris of Australia. Jaismine (60kg) pummelled Australia’s Angela Harries, forcing the referee to stop the contest in the first round itself.

However, it was curtains for Shiksha (54kg) and Ankushita (66kg).

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).
