Jalandhar, September 25

The players practising at the Raizada Hansraj Stadium are a happy lot as they will be featuring in the ‘Mann ki baat’ radio programme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow.

Former national-level player and member of the interim committee of the District Badminton Association, Ritin Khanna said he had received a call from the PMO few days back that the national-level players from the stadium will be picked for interaction with the PM. He said Raizada Hansraj Stadium will be one of the 10 centres from across the country from where people from different walks of life will be interacting virtually with the PM tomorrow.

The other centres include Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, Taj Palace Banquet Hall at Bareili, and Bharat Swabhiman Gaushala, Goa. The Jalandhar stadium will be the only place from where the players will be talking to him. This will be the 81st edition of ‘Mann ki Baat’ show. The event will be telecast live on Doordarshan and other social media platforms. The PM holds this show on the last Sunday or every month. — TNS
