Tag: l Vij upset over non-functioning of all-weather swimming pool asks Sports Minister to take action against DSO

Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij has taken serious cognizance of the closure of the all-weather swimming pool at the War Heroes Memorial Stadium in Ambala Cantonment and has spoken to the Sports Minister about the matter. Today, children who use the swimming pool met with Energy Minister Anil Vij and complained about the pool being close. In response, Minister Vij immediately spoke with the state’s Sports Minister Gaurav Gautam. Speaking to media persons on the matter, Anil Vij said that “Some children came and informed that the international-standard all-weather swimming pool at War Heroes Memorial Stadium is not operational. He said I was the one who had the pool built, and I was shocked to hear that the children are not able to benefit from it and that it is closed.” Sh. Vij added that he spoke to the state’s Sports Minister Gaurav Gautam over the phone and told him that this is unacceptable. He asked the minister to take note of the issue and take action against the District Sports Officer (DSO) for the prolonged closure and the absence of a tender for its operation. Sh. Vij further stated that since it is not possible to process a tender in a short time, he requested the Sports Minister for the government to directly operate the swimming pool. Over the phone, Sports Minister Gaurav Gautam assured Energy Minister Anil Vij and said that “Vij Sahab, please inform the children that the swimming pool will be reopened this evening and the government will run it directly.” *All-Weather Swimming Pool Built Through the Efforts of Minister Anil Vij* It is worth noting that the international-standard all-weather swimming pool at War Heroes Memorial Stadium in Ambala Cantonment was constructed due to the efforts of Energy Minister Anil Vij. This swimming pool is equipped with modern facilities and can be used even in winter. A warm-up pool has also been built alongside. The pool has hosted Khelo India and other national-level competitions. However, its non-operation during this summer had disappointed the athletes, prompting Minister Anil Vij to take action.
