Chandigarh: Chipping in with financial help
for the national women hockey team, the Haryana government has
released a cheque of Rs one crore for the players.
Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said at a press
conference that they decided to release the cheque after
learning about the plight of the players.
Madhya Pradesh government has already contributed Rs one
crore for the players and Corporate body ASSOCHAM had also
donated Rs 10 lakh.
The Union Sports Ministry had approached various state
governments to help the players, who are protesting against
the delay in payment of their dues and incentives apart from
demanding treatment at par with their male counterparts.
Hooda also said that they could consider giving a job to
skipper Surinder Kaur if the player makes a request.
"In case she desires for a government job, we will take
care," he said.
