Deputy commissioner (DC) Jitendra Jorwal on Thursday announced plans to upgrade the gym at Guru Nanak Stadium with ultra-modern machines and equipment to boost athletes’ fitness and performance.
During his visit to the gym, Jorwal, a fitness enthusiast, expressed concern over the outdated equipment used for players’ training. He emphasised the need for better facilities to nurture a strong sports culture and inspire youth to consider sports as a career.
Accompanied by CM field officer Kritika Goyal, Jorwal assured the district administration would fully support athletes and ensure they can access the best resources. “Players with the potential to bring glory to the country should not face any hurdles due to inadequate facilities,” he stated. Jorwal instructed officials to prepare proposals for the gym’s renovation and procurement of modern equipment within a few days.
District sports officer Kuldeep Chugh highlighted that the gym had not been renovated for many years.
