There was a seven-way tie for the sixth place at one-under 69, including names like Uttam Singh Mundy, Shiv Prakash, Raqiq Ali and Ajay Gupta. Ashok, who won the Singhania Open in Noida three weeks ago with a super round of eight-under 64 on the final day, continued in the same vein. He started with an eagle on the par-5 opening hole, and then added five crisp birdies and a solitary bogey from the bunker on the par-3, 13th. Ranjit, who finished runner-up in 1999 at the same venue for his career-best finish, was in his elements once again.

‘Hockey team need improvement’ New Delhi, March 10 Mr Malhotra expressed his dismay at the team’s performance against Canada in the last pool match as after leading by 4-0, they conceded as many goals to the Canadians, “exposing the weakness in the defence and lack of sustainability”. He said he would discuss the matter with the officials of the Indian Hockey Federation on the method to be adopted for effecting improvement in the team. Mr Malhotra said it was, however, a great relief that the hockey team, along with the men’s and women’s archery teams, were the first to qualify for the Olympic Games. Athletics, shooting, swimming, wrestling and weightlifting teams have also qualified for the Olympic Games. Mr Malhotra said he would soon convene a meeting of the Olympic Preparation Committee to review the situation. |

According to sources, two representatives of the lawyers including DBA president Naseeb Singh Kadian and Anand Prakash called on Deputy Commissioner Mohinder Kumar and SP H. S. Doon at the DC’s office today. The lawyers’ representatives repeated their demand that the tehsildar should apologise for asking the bribe and only then they would end their dharna and strike. |
