The sports hostel at Surjit Hockey Stadium in Burlton Park is in a state of severe disrepair, resembling a deserted building. The hostel, housing eight PIS athletes, suffers from widespread neglect including garbage, dilapidated rooms and washrooms, broken windows covered with makeshift materials, and overall unsafe conditions. The district sports department has proposed a Rs 3.5 crore renovation, and the Sports Director acknowledges the problem and claims renovation work has begun, aiming for completion by the end of the financial year. This situation mirrors earlier reports of poor conditions at the hostel of the Government Senior Secondary State School of Sports, a prestigious institute. (This summary is generated via AI.)

The Ludhiana election is seeing an intense hoarding war between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, who are dominating the city's advertising space with bold slogans and visuals, while the BJP and SAD are lagging behind. AAP's Sanjeev Arora and Congress' Bharat Bhushan Ashu are engaging in veiled attacks and vying for voter trust with slogans that highlight their strengths and target opponents' weaknesses. The AAP emphasizes work and respect, while Congress focuses on development and its established track record. The BJP and SAD are taking a different approach, opting for less expensive options like illegal wall posters and social media. SAD's Parupkar Singh Ghuman is promoting prosperity and accessibility, positioning himself as the local, humble choice. BJP's Gupta, however, is largely absent from the hoarding battle, citing financial constraints and a preference for grassroots engagement over large-scale advertising.

The Dalit village of Nangal in Phillaur is experiencing unrest due to repeated vandalism of its Ambedkar statue. After two attacks, residents, who deeply revere Ambedkar and his ideology, feel deliberately targeted. They are questioning why their village is being singled out despite the presence of numerous Ambedkar statues in the region. Nangal's historical connection to Ambedkar, combined with its largely Dalit and politically aware population, intensifies the community's outrage. Despite installing security measures after the first attack, the second defacement, targeting the new statue before protective measures were in place, has fueled fears of a deliberate attempt to sow discord between Dalits and Sikhs. The villagers, united and alert, are protesting and demanding the arrest of those responsible, emphasizing the significance of the statue as a symbol of their identity, equality, and resistance.
