Girn, and a large number of other officers of the township. The meeting had been called especially to discuss matter relating to Matour village. Among the various decisions that were taken include the construction of a tubewell by the MC here in the village to cater to the drinking water shortage problem. ‘‘The water here is being provided by the rural water supply from Sohana village but since one of their tubewells has failed, they cannot supply to Matour any more. So a new tubewell will be built at the cost of Rs 16 lakh,’’ said Mr Bir Devinder Singh. It was also decided that a survey be conducted to solve the problem of sewerage in the village and a water outlet system will be established by PUDA costing Rs 1.74 lakh. It was also decided that small vacant areas be identified across the township by PUDA to be developed into playing grounds for budding sportspersons. ‘‘We have asked PUDA to identify a place for a basketball court in Sector 69 and a skating rink in in phase VII here. Mr Bir Devinder informed that the upgradation of the Matour school to the plus two level will be reconsidered as the present size of the school was too small to cater to students above a certain level. |
Good news for horse riders Chandigarh, June 6 Mohinder Singh, a trainer at the club, said the facility to provide horse riding could be possible only through the efforts of Col M.Berry, general manager of the club. He said Colonel Berry arranged five horses, all gifted by horse lovers, then asked trainers to impart training to children. Mohinder and Rajesh were two trainers, though at times the help of other experts in horse riding was also taken. All five horses are thoroughbred, with two of them, ‘Sensation’ and ‘North Star’ having participated in various races. The names of the other three are, Romal, Miss China and Lily. The interesting part told by the trainers was that a horse could carry its name even seven years after its death. When contacted, Colonel Berry said at present they had 22 kids on roll, and the monthly charges were quite minimal and lesser than charged by other riding centres in the region. On the training part, he said, to start with, boys were taught trauting, then jumping then tent pegging and other tactics. Trauting mainly involves controlling a horse. He said they were putting a limit to members, due to scarcity of space, but once the new ground for horse riding coming up adjacent to new squash courts was ready, then they could hope to increase the horse riding members. He said equestrian was one sport where the city lacked proper facilities. But it was his dream to provide new sports facilities to the residents and equestrian was one of them. He said by next year, they hoped to train at least 15 -20 young riders who would compete in various competitions. |
