Chandigarh, October 15

Panjab University Controller of Examination (CoE) has proposed to instal a portrait of Dr Parminder Singh Ahluwalia, former Director, Sports (PU), at the Sports Department of the university and its affiliated colleges. Dr Ahluwalia died of cardiac arrest recently.

In a letter to the Vice-Chancellor, Principals, Syndics and all professors, the CoE stated, “Keeping in mind the achievements of the PU made under him, a portrait should be installed in his memory. Under his guidance, the PU won MAKA Trophy twice after a gap of 25 years.”

“I request all colleagues to moot a proposal for installing a portrait at the PU Sports Department, to keep his memories alive and give inspiration to all of us,” he added.

“His family should be allowed to stay on the campus till he was to get superannuation from the university. I also propose conferring of Khel Rattan Award on him (posthumously) to recognise his contributions,” he said.
