NEW DELHI: The training camp for India’s Tokyo-bound women boxers has been shifted from coronavirus-plagued New Delhi to Pune as the country chases its best Olympics performance ever later this year in the Japanese capital. Their Delhi camp was disrupted last month when 21 athletes and coaches tested positive for Covid-19, though they did not include any of the country’s Olympics-qualified boxers. “With a surge in COVID-19 cases, the decision was taken to shift the camp to Pune,” the Boxing Federation of India said in a statement.

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).
