NEW DELHI: The Haryana government has decided to cancel awards ceremony for the state’s Commonwealth Games medallists after many athletes declared they would be skipping the event over the government’s proposed cut in their prize money.
The call was taken after a meeting between state chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and state sports minister Anil Vij where the point was made about the possibility of the government being embarrassed in case the athletes did not turn up.
