HI comes to Baljit’s aid

New Delhi

Hockey India on Friday presented a cheque of Rs 2.5 lakhs to goalkeeper Baljit Singh for his rehabilitation expenses.

Baljit, who met with a serious eye injury at the training camp at Pune in July last year, was treated in the US where he underwent three surgeries but is still awaiting his full vision.

Said Baljit from Chandigarh, “I have received a cheque of Rs 2.5 lakhs from Hockey India and I am grateful to them. I am waiting to hear from the sports ministry now.”
