Chandigarh, April 5

The Chandigarh Golf Club (CGC) management distributed dry-ration and money to their caddies . As many as 200 caddies are registered with the club and make a living while caddying for the members here.

The club has been shut due to countrywide lockdown caused by Covid– 19. “Most of these caddies belong to the lowest strata of society and have no other means of livelihood. The members contributed towards a fund to collect a substantial amount and all the caddies were given Rs 2,000 each for the disruption in their earnings for the last month,” said Sandeep Singh Sandhu, President Chandigarh Golf Club. “The club has plans to support them for this month also,” added Sandhu. Col Iqbal Singh, Chairman Caddies Welfare Committee, facilitated the distribution along with Col APS Johal, General Manager Golf Club. The management also combined their efforts with ‘Bogey Sports’ and ‘UdhamIkkSoch’.
