        wrangle stalls on-line lotteryChandigarh, January 30
 The road to on-line lottery in
        Haryana seems to have developed potholes. The state government had to
        reinvite tenders for its plan to start an on-line lottery after the
        first call failed to evoke an encouraging response. Informed
        sources say five parties applied when the government again invited the
        tenders.
