Chandigarh, April 22

Haryana Government has decided to waive the fee charged from the players coming for practice at the stadiums or sports complexes across the state.

Minister of State for Sports and Youth Affairs Sandeep Singh said that from now, players would be able to prepare for games free of cost at stadiums or sports complexes, he added.

“Apart from the players, even the sports association or federation registered under the Haryana Olympic Association will also be exempt from paying fee for organising any sports event like state or national championships. Only private organisations will have to pay the prescribed fee for using the stadium,” said Sandeep Singh.

Earlier, former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and HPCC chief Kumari Selja had described the taking of fee from players and the common man as loot.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
