Reinstate coach, ask CLTA trainees
Chandigarh March 4 Over two dozen trainees staged a dharna in the morning, demanding the reinstatement of their director coach. The coach had to leave due to the dictatorial attitude of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) Megh Raj, they alleged. They said that the players were being made to practise with old and worn out balls, fee was being increased frequently, and all the decisions were being taken keeping an eye on revenue generation, which had led to a suffocating atmosphere in the academy. They also said that many of the good players left the academy recently due to the COO, who was from a non-technical background and did not know anything about the game. He was not supposed to dictate the coach, they complained. Further, the fee for trainees had been increased manifold during last four years, they said. Even the parents of many trainees present on the spot alleged that ever since new COO Megh Raj joined the academy, the focus has been on revenue generation and all the decisions related to tennis were being taken with an eye on revenue. It is for this reason that the morning practice session for school children had been cancelled. Harvarinder, when contacted, confirmed that he had resigned from the post of director coach yesterday evening. “I was subjected to humiliation every other day,” he said. It was difficult to convince the COO on technical issues as he was from a non-technical background, added Gurvarinder. COO Megh Raj, denying all allegations, said that his job was limited to the administrative work. He refused to comment on other issues. President of CLTA Jai Singh Gill, when contacted, denied that the director coaching was being subjected to humiliation and was forced to leave. “We are open to hearing any one, on any issue. It was the decision of Gurvarinder himself to leave the job,” said Gill. |
