Players lack civic sense, says PU
Chandigarh, December 29 Following The Tribune’s report highlighting PU’s apathy to visiting softball team, the PU authorities have justified not giving mattresses to players, as they feared them to be left dirty by them. In what is bound to irk hundreds of sportspersons and college authorities, PU dean student welfare AS Ahluwalia on a telephonic conversation from Lucknow said, “The sports department has told me that players participating in the inter-college tournaments leave mattresses and quilts dirty and that is why they were not given the bedding. No security was charged but we can start providing them bedding by charging security.” The justification, however, defies the logic to many, as a coach on the condition of anonymity said, “These are same players that participated in the inter-university tournaments and they are given everything there. Don’t they make bedding dirty then? Is civic sense proportionate to nature of the tournament for PU? The excuse is illogical and shameful and highlights the department’s indifference to college-level tournaments.” According HS Ghosal, Senator, Panjab University, the apathy is a standing evidence to the step-motherly treatment to the colleges and their students. “If PU has forgotten that this hostel was built by the college’s money and college sportspersons should be given full facilities. If mattresses get dirty then can’t they be washed? Last year they used this hostel as their girls’ hostel when our teams had to stay in other area of the campus and now they don’t even give bedding to our students. We will not take this and meet the VC in this regard.” On other hand, the dean also maintained that the authorities will take up the matter and re-framed the rule. “We will soon take up the matter at a meeting. We will consider sportspersons, coaches and officials and hopefully in future, the players will get all facilities after depositing some security fee or a responsibility letter by the head of the institution,” said Ahluwalia.
