Grant for boxer after her death
Chandigarh: In a major faux pas, the Haryana government on Tuesday announced a grant of Rs. 1 lakh for the treatment of promising boxer Megha Bhardwaj two weeks after she passed away after suffering from cancer.
Megha was suffering from round cell and lung cancer for the last one-and-a-half years. The Sports Ministry had no idea that the girl had died before the department issued a press release announcing that the amount had been sanctioned by Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Sports Minister Kiran Choudhry even went on to state in the press release that the government decided to help Megha given her exceptional qualities in the field of academics, culture and sports.
However, they later realised their mistake and a fresh release was issued condoling the death of the Class XI student of Maharaja Agrasain Girls Senior Secondary School, Sirsa. — PTI
