They win medals living
in Sonepat but are forced to go to Delhi for practice Sonepat, March 31 In the
recently concluded national level boxing championship at Bilaspur in
Himachal Pradesh, five boxers, Ankit in 48 kg, Ashok Kumar in 51 kg
Sanjay Kumar in 54, kg, Rajesh Kumar in 57 kg and Vikas Yogi in 60 kg
weight category, from this district participated. Three of them, Ankit,
Sanjay and Vikas Yogi, got the first position and the other two, Ashok
Kumar and Rajesh Kumar, were runners-up in their categories. According
to these boxers, there is no facility for the boxers in Sonepat. No
equipment is provided. No coach has been appointed here to train the
boxers. The boxers have to make contributions from their pocket to buy
the equipment. And if the equipment gets damaged they are again
compelled to contribute from their own pocket to buy new one. “Many a
times we are not able to buy new equipment for want of money,” they
remarked. The boxers informed that they go to Delhi in the evening and
return to Sonepat after at least two hours of training. “A lot of time
is wasted in the train journey and if the facilities are provided in
Sonepat we can devote the time spent in journeying to and fro in
practising here,” they told NCR Tribune, adding that in the morning they
go to the CRA College grounds for practice. They also pointed out that
the state government has formed a new sports policy and a number of
incentives, including cash awards, were being given to the
sportspersons. “But probably there is no proper planning to create or
provide training facilities to the youngsters. We are sure that if
proper training and facilities are provided for every game or sport the
results will be far better,” they opined. Many a times it becomes very
difficult for the parents to spare a lot of money for training and
practice at distant places. If these were made available here it would
be a great help for the youngsters as well as their families, they said. |
