Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann: At the historic Kila Raipur Rural Olympics, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday announced the sports budget would be enhanced in the forthcoming state Budget, underlining a determined push to channelise the energy of the youth into constructive avenues.

Stating that bullock cart races, halted during the tenure of previous governments, have now resumed after the law was amended, the Chief Minister said that when children sweat it out on the field and bring home medals, there will be no need for any anti-drug campaign.

Calling the revival of the Kila Raipur Games a reflection of Punjab’s rural pride and cultural strength, the Chief Minister highlighted the New Sports Policy -- 2023 as a step towards restoring the state’s sporting glory, with stadiums to be built in every village.
