Subhash Stadium to have
nursery for wrestlers Sonepat, March 5 This information
was given by Deputy Director Sukhbir Singh of the department during a
meeting of the wrestling instructors, Akhara owners and prominent
wrestlers of the district here today. He informed that initially the
nursery would be allotted 10 seats but these would be increased at the
later stage. Besides, he said, the department had sanctioned 15
wrestling mats for different wrestling nurseries in the state and one
additional mat would be given for the nursery in local Subhash
Stadium. Exhorting the private akhara owners to avail the benefits of
the department’s mat scheme for promotion of wrestling, Mr Singh said
that they would be required to pay only 25 per cent cost of the mat and
remaining 75 per cent cost would be borne by the department. He also
gave details of the incentives being given to the sports persons, which
included cash awards job reservations in government and semi-government
services, training allowances and many other facilities. In the
meeting, when the akhara owners demanded wrestling coaches for the
akharas to train the young wrestlers, Mr Singh agreed to send the coach
at least once in a month in each akhara and also advised them to bring
their akhara wrestlers in Subhash Stadium every week so that their
wrestlers could have trial practices with the wrestlers of the
nursery. It is also relevant to point out that a wrestling nursery was
opened in Subhash Stadium many years back. But due to obvious reasons,
it was shifted to Kharkhoda – a tehsil headquarter of the district, last
year and its seats were also reduced from 25 to 15. However, the
shifting of the nursery invited sharp criticism not only from the young
wrestlers, but also from the wardens and general public of the areas
around the town. Moreover, number of young wrestlers refused to attend
the nursery at Kharkhoda and they all urged the government to either
shift back the nursery from Kharkhoda or open a new one in the town. |

A dab hand at
boxing, he dabbles in tourism now Rohtak, March 5 A diploma holder from the National Institute of Sports from Patiala in boxing, Joginder Singh after getting recognition as ‘progressive farmer’ among the farming fraternity of the region, is making frantic efforts to develop seven and a half acres of his land as a spot for tourists’ attraction in a small village Samar Gopalpur, some eight miles from Rohtak. Once developed fully, the place is expected to offer unforgettable time to the holidayers amidst glimpses of folk culture of the region. A bantam weight category boxer in his youth, Joginder Pal told the NCR Tribune that the state government has rendered recognition to his efforts by identifying his ‘Bani Khera’ complex as a spot of ‘Farm Tourism’—a new concept in Haryana.. A visit to the complex site gives the impression of the zeal that drives Joginder Pal towards performing this massive task. The conversion of fisheries pond owned by Pal into a small lake has already started attracting the winged visitors. The presence of some migratory birds was a cause of sheer joy to the people. The plants and trees surrounding the site have given shelter to numerous birds whose chirping in the morning and evening adds melody to the rhythm of rural life. Divulging details of his plans, Joginder Pal disclosed that he
proposes to construct 10 rooms besides three cottages entirely on
traditional pattern equipped with all mod cons. |
