Despite a valiant knock of 54 by Amandeep Singh, Yadavindra Public School (YPS) went down to NICS by eight wickets in a league match of the 5th Patiala Hot Weather (under 13) Cricket Tournament played at the YPS grounds here today. Opting to bat first, YPS scored 113 for five in allotted 20 overs. Skipper Amandeep Singh once again proved to be the mainstay of their batting. The eighth standard YPS youngster played fluently before being run out in the last over of the innings. In the previous two league matches, Amandeep had scored 63 and 49 runs.

Cash-strapped COA faces uphill task Chandigarh, May 18 He said when the new executive committee took over, it was handed over just Rs 2,000 by the outgoing committee. “Now all-out efforts are being made to generate funds for the association through sponsorships,” he said. He said the association had already received Rs 50,000 from Rajiv Bali of Mount Shivalik and was hopeful that some other sponsors would come forward soon. Funds permitting, the COA was planning to hold a Chandigarh Sports Festival in October or November this year in a limited number of disciplines. The association was also in the process of drawing up a plan to hold summer camps to train players in the coming year so that the standard of sports in Chandigarh could improve. “We plan to invite coaches from the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and other sports bodies so that specialised training can be provided during these training camps,” Rana Sodhi said. He said the COA would lay special emphasis on educating players and coaches to keep away drugs from sports. (In this connection it is worth mentioning that when it was recently disclosed that certain players had tested positive in the Hyderabad National Games held earlier this year, a number of players from Chandigarh were also named). The first meeting of the new executive committee of the COA would be held in the first week of June, said Rana Sodhi. The secretary-general of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), who is taking a keen interest in the working of the Chandigarh body, would also be invited to attend the meeting. The agenda of the meeting would be circulated soon, he added. Regarding construction of the Olympic Bhavan in Chandigarh (a petition was recently handed over to the Governor of Punjab and the Administrator of Chandigarh seeking land for the bhavan), Rana Sodhi said the response of the Chandigarh Administration had been encouraging. Now the formalities were required to be completed before the land for the bhavan was handed over to the association he added. He said the proposed bhavan would not only house the office of the COA, but would also have facilities like a health club, bowling lawns (Rana Sodhi was recently elected president of the Chandigarh Bowling association) and facilities for other indoor games. He said Chandigarh was keen to host the second edition of the National Youth Games. The first edition of the games was scheduled to be held at Hyderabad this year. “In these games competitions are restricted to the under-21 category and are held in certain selected disciplines only, he said. He was of the view that the existing facilities in Chandigarh would require minor upgrading for hosting the Youth Games if these were allotted to the union territory. |

HUDA plans to reclaim land along
nullah Panchkula, May 18 Well-placed sources said a formal proposal for carving plots in Sectors 12 and 12-A had been sent by the District Town Planning Office to the Senior Town Planner (STP), Panchkula, for final approval. The demarcation of the plots would be initiated soon and the plots would be floated within the next two months. The proposal for developing plots by diverting another seasonal rivulet in Mansa Devi Complex had earlier been cleared by the Town and Country Planning Department. Though the HUDA officials are exploring options for retrieving land along the rivulet originating in Swastik Vihar in Chandigarh and passing through Sectors 7 and 18 here, they feel it will not be as fruitful as in the two cases. The sources said the issue was discussed at a meeting held in November. The HUDA officials had reportedly made their own site plans and presented the same to officials from the Town Planning Department. The officials had observed that though about 30,000 sqm would be retrieved along Singh Nullah, only 30 to 40 per cent of this could be utilised for carving out the plots. Panchkula derives its name from “paanch kool”, the land of five rivulets. While two of these rivulets are non-existent, the others have become nullahs with sullage choking most of these. The areas along the nullahs have been encroached upon. Over the years, residents of Sectors 2, 4, 12 and 12-A have been demanding that areas along this rivulet should be cleared of encroachments and beautified on the lines of Leisure Valley in Chandigarh. HUDA had come up with various schemes for the beautification of these rivulets, however, the officials say that once land is retrieved and sold off, it will yield enough money for the beautification. |
