Ludhiana MP and national spokesperson of the All India Congress Committee Manish Tewari today assured that he would vigorously pursue the issue of taking over of the Jarkhar Sports Stadium in this district by the Sports Authority of India with the Union Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs MS Gill.
Inaugurating the Punjab Kabbadi Championship at the Jarkhar sports stadium, Tewari said he was impressed with the efforts of the local people in building such a good infrastructure in the village. He promised that he would ensure at his own level that the stadium has the best of facilities.
The Congress leader said it was a matter of great satisfaction that Jarkhar Sports Academy was promoting the game of hockey in a big way by providing training to young and budding players. “These efforts will bear fruit and hockey will regain its lost glory in this region,” he said. Responding to the demand for cash insistence by the local people, Tewari assured that he would do his best in all possible manners.
