In order to promote sports in the state, especially in the rural parts, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Saturday announced to construct sports grounds on Sri Bhaini Sahib sports model in block and district levels.
On his first visit to Sri Bhaini Sahib in the district today, Channi accompanied by Namdhari sect chief Satguru Uday Singh, former PPCC chief HS Hanspal, Samrala MLA Amrik Singh Dhillon, Sultanpur Lodhi MLA Navtej Singh Cheema, Gill MLA and Punjab State Warehouse Corporation chairman Kuldeep Singh Vaid, inspected the AstroTurf at Sri Bhaini Sahib. Channi said the Punjab Government would replicate this cost-effective and feasible model of the AstroTurf and grounds in the entire state.
Reiterating his government’s commitment to provide the state-of-the-art sports infrastructure to players, the Chief Minister said, “Such model sports grounds will enable players to further excel in world-class tournaments like Olympics.”
He added that officials would soon chalk out a blueprint for developing such AstroTurfs and football grounds in consultation with the Sri Bhaini Sahib management. Channi also assured that there would be no dearth of funds for this purpose.
“The Punjab Government is working to promote sports amongst the Punjabi youth,” said Channi. Meanwhile, Satguru Uday Singh, who is also head of the task force of Rs650-crore Buddha Nullah Rejuvenation Project, discussed the project with Channi.
