Pakistan hockey team won't be stopped from competing in India: Ministry source

NEW DELHI: Pakistan's hockey teams will not be stopped from competing in next month's Asia Cup and the junior World Cup in India as any move to block the arch-foes would be a violation of the Olympic Charter, a sports ministry source said on Thursday. While the Asia Cup is scheduled to be held in Rajgir, Bihar from August 27 to September 7, the junior World Cup will be organised in Chennai and Madurai from November 28 to December 10. We are not against any team competing in India in a multi-national competition. If we try to stop Pakistan it would be seen as a violation of the Olympic Charter. But bilateral is different and there will be no relaxation on that front, the source said. The Charter is akin to the constitution of the Olympic movement and stresses on sport as a tool for promoting international peace and cooperation. As a result, any attempt to block a rival country from a multi-national event adversely impacts the host nation's prospects of getting future hosting rights. When asked whether this means India will be allowed to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup of cricket in September, the source said, The BCCI is yet to reach out to the ministry on this. We will address this query when they approach us. India and Pakistan have been avoiding bilateral sporting engagements for close to two decades but even multi-lateral face-offs were in doubt after the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 tourists were gunned down in April. In May, India retaliated with Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan leading to a tense military showdown that de-escalated on Pakistan's request for a ceasefire. International sports demands that we cannot back out from competing in multi-national competitions. Take for instance, Russia and Ukraine, they are at war but they show up at multi-national events and compete as well, he added. Hockey India (HI) welcomed the decision to allow Pakistan hockey teams to play in Asia Cup and junior World Cup in India. We welcome government's decision. Our stance from the beginning was that whatever the government decides we will abide by that. There is no other argument in that, HI secretary general Bhola Nath Singh said. HI had repeatedly stated that they would abide by the government directive on the matter.

Union Cabinet approves 'Khelo Bharat Niti-2025' aimed at transforming Indias global sporting landscape

In a landmark decision aiming to transform Indias global sporting landscape, the government on Tuesday approved Khelo Bharat Niti- 2025 (the National Sports Policy), which will replace the erstwhile 2001 framework and pave the way for a new era of excellence, inclusivity and economic opportunity. Meanwhile, in another decision, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has also given its nod to the construction of the four-lane Paramakudi-Ramanathapuram Section of National Highway (NH) -87 in Tamil Nadu at a cost of Rs 1,853 crore. Briefing media after the meeting of the Union cabinet, Information & Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, The National Sports Policy 2025 aims to set India on a transformative path toward becoming a leading sporting nation globally, preferably the fifth powerhouse, while creating healthier, more engaged and empowered citizens. Noting that the NSP-2025 targets significant international achievements, including the 2036 Olympic Games, Vaishnaw said, the formulation of the policy involved extensive nationwide consultations with various ministries, state governments, NITI Aayog, National Sports Federations (NSFs), athletes, domain experts and public stakeholders. The four-lane Paramakudi-Ramanathapuram Section of NH-87 in Tamil Nadu will be built on Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) at a capital cost of Rs 1,853 crore, Vaishnaw said. Currently, connectivity between Madurai, Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram, Mandapam, Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi is dependent on the existing 2-lane NH-87 and associated State Highways, which experience significant congestion due to high traffic volumes, especially in densely populated stretches and key towns along the corridor, the Minister said. To address these challenges, the project will upgrade approximately 46.7 km of NH-87 from Paramakudi to Ramanathapuram to a 4-lane configuration, he said, adding that this would decongest the existing corridor, improve safety and cater to the mobility needs of rapidly growing towns such as Paramakudi, Sathirakudi, Achundanvayal and Ramanathapuram. Upon completion, the Paramakudi-Ramanathapuram section will pave regional economic growth, strengthening connectivity between major religious and economic centres, boosting tourism to Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi, and opening new avenues for trade and industrial development, the government said in an official release. The project will also generate approximately 8.4 lakh person-days of direct and 10.45 lakh person-days of indirect employment, and will open new avenues of growth, development and prosperity in surrounding regions, it noted.
