He said that the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will not compromise with the health and diet of the players. He made it clear to the contractor that if this happens again in the future, the contract will be cancelled.
On the instructions of the Sports Minister, PIS issued a warning letter to the contractor. He categorically said that only quality edible products should be used and it should be ensured that nutritious food, which is mandatory for diet, is served to the players.
