Background
Breaking News LIVE, January 2, 2022: Days ahead of the UP Assembly Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the Major Dhyan Chand Sports University in Meerut today.
The university will be established at Salawa and Kaili villages of Sardhana town in Meerut at an estimated cost of about Rs 700 crore.
One of the key areas of focus for the prime minister is inculcating sporting culture and establishing world-class sporting infrastructure in all parts of the country, and the establishment of this university at Meerut will be a major step towards fulfilling this vision, it said.
The sports university will be equipped with modern and state-of-the-art sports infrastructure, including synthetic hockey and football grounds, a ground for basketball, volleyball, handball and kabaddi, lawn tennis court, gymnasium hall, synthetic running stadium, swimming pool, multipurpose hall and a cycling velodrome.
It will also house facilities for shooting, squash, gymnastics, weightlifting, archery, canoeing and kayaking among other facilities.
unjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Saturday threatened to stage a 'dharna' against Governor Banwarilal Purohit for withholding his assent to a bill for regularising 36,000 contractual employees.
Channi also accused Purohit of dithering on approving the bill under pressure from the BJP.
The state assembly had passed 'the Punjab Protection and Regularization of Contractual Employees Bill-2021' last November for regularising 36,000 employees working on contract or on ad hoc, temporary or daily basis in different government departments.
"But the governor has stopped the file (relating to the bill) because of some political reasons," Channi said while addressing the media here for giving the report card on 100 days of his regime.
