Ludhiana, June 25
A new six-a-side AstroTurf was laid down at the Namdhari headquarters, Bhaini Sahib, today. It was in the year 2004 that an AstroTurf was installed here for the first time which was later replaced as it got worn out.
Chief Minister Capt Amrinder Singh had sent a grant of Rs50 lakh for the installation of a 30’x60” Astro Turf which was handed over to the authorities about eight months ago at Bhaini Sahib by Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi, Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs. It took six months time to lay down the turf.
Major Amardeep Singh, political advisor to the CM, inaugurated the turf in the presence of Namdhari head, Satguru Udey Ji and others.
Besides, a football ground, with grassy and synthetic surface is coming up there at Bhaini Sahib Sports Complex. In addition to this, there is an indoor badminton hall and an athletics track at which a large number of players use to practice daily.
Altey Chahal along with former national hockey players Sher Singh and Gurcharan Singh and students were present at the inauguration function.
