Badal offers 20 acres land to Yuvraj

Yuvraj, who is recovering after undergoing treatment for a rare germ cell cancer, was accompanied by his mother Shabnam Singh when he called on Badal at his residence here today, an official spokesman said.

Badal wished him speedy recovery and best of health.

Badal appreciated the proposal put forth by Yuvraj to establish state-of-the-art sports academy near Chandigarh to impart training to the budding players in cricket, hockey, golf and tennis.

The Chief Minister asked his Principal Secretary to finalise the modalities for the allotment of requisite land.

Badal told Yuvraj that the state government had already set up a sports school at Ghudha in Bathinda district to impart quality education and sports training to our youth to enable them to exhibit their talent at national as well as international tournaments. PTI VJ PM
