Kila Raipur Games from Jan 30, no bullock-cart races
Ludhiana: The stage is set for the 79th edition of the MRF-Kila Raipur Games that begin on January 30. However, the bullock-cart races, which made these games popular the world over, will not be organised this year. “Following the ban imposed by the Supreme Court, the sports lovers would not be able to enjoy this spectacular event at these games,” said Gursandeep Singh Grewal, president of the organizing club Grewal Sports Association. Nevertheless, sports such as hockey, athletics and kabaddi in addition to rare seen events like horse races, tractor races, feats by baazigars will be organised during this sports extravaganza to be held from January 30 to February 1. — TNS
