In the footsteps of her grandpa
Ludhiana, December 14 Neha Singh, kin of the Indian hockey legend, went unnoticed by the local hockey fans during the XIth Mohinder Partap Singh Grewal Hockey Tournament, which concluded here yesterday. The agile centre forward displayed rare control over the ball on the field. Narinder Singh, a veteran hockey player, said:” Looks like a perfect image of the hockey legend of our times.” Centre forward is one of the most crucial positions in the layout for the opponent in the hockey and the quality of her game has made her the best choice for controlling the opposition’s attack. Neha Singh, who also captained the Northern Railways hockey team, scripted 2-1 win over the Western Railways in the finals of the Mohinder Partap Singh Grewal Hockey Tournament played at Punjab agricultural University (PAU). While talking to Ludhiana Tribune, Neha Singh, who led the Indian women hockey team in 2004 for the four-nation hockey tournament held in Japan, said,” I wish to play like my grandfather. It is my dream to leave a mark at least resembling my grandfather, if not an equivalent.” She credits her “Mama” Ashok Dhyan Chand for her success. She said,” It is due to his encouragement that I could hold a hockey stick and learn the handling skills”. She started playing hockey at tender age of 10 years. She soon joined the Lucknow Hockey Academy and her dream of playing for India did not take long as she represented India in 1998. Now employed with the Northern Railways, she said it was quite tough to live up to the standards maintained by her family. “Belonging to a family, which has produced galaxy of hockey players, there is always a pressure on giving the best every time. People expect a lot from me,” she
added.

Bomb found near Doraha canal
Khanna, December 14 The police was quick to bring the matter to the notice of the civil administration. It was learnt that after receiving the information, Ludhiana deputy commission got in touch with the Jalandhar military station from where a team of officials reached the spot to take stock of the situation. The military personnel, with the help of the local police, sealed the area from where the bomb was recovered to ensure that no untoward incident occurred due to any negligence. Sources said the bomb appeared to be an old explosive. About a couple of years back, five children had been killed as a bomb had exploded near the Doraha canal. In the search of the area that followed the explosion, several bombs had been recovered from here. The children who had lost their lives in the incident had been playing around the bombs when one of these exploded. The sources sad even last year around 80 bombs were recovered from here. It is believed that bombs are received by scrap dealers of Ludhiana and Mandi Gobindgarh who import scrap from other countries. In order to avoid legal procedures, the scrap dealers prefer to dump these bombs near Doraha canal. Though the local administration has initiated steps to curb this practice, but so far no concrete results have been achieved in preventing the careless dumping of bombs.

Keeping in view the gravity of the offence and seriousness of the allegations, I do not find it a fit case in which benefit of bail could be granted, observed the judge while rejecting the bail application.

Equipment, not talent, hurting India: Rower
Chandigarh, December 14 “After seeing the preparation and latest equipment of foreign teams during the Germany visit for Olympics qualifiers, we felt that it was not the dearth of talent here but the scarcity of adequate facilities and infrastructure that was responsible for poor performance,” says Manjit Singh, who is competing in the All-India Inter-University Rowing Competition at Sukhna Lake. A student of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College, Sector 26, Manjit Singh was member of lightweight coxless-four squad. “Competing with teams from 67 countries, our team secured 24th position in the qualifying competitions. The difference between qualifying timings and ours was 14 seconds,” he says, adding that only proper infrastructure and advanced training programmes can help Indian rowers match teams like Germany, New Zealand and Great Britain in the sport.
