Punjab's participation in the 14th National Dragon Boat Championship is in jeopardy due to a dispute between the Department of Sports and the Punjab Kayaking and Canoeing Association. Trials, scheduled for December 22-24, were not conducted. The association claims they lacked permission from the sports department, which states no request was received. Players expressed frustration over the lack of coordination, with one medalist highlighting his continued training without trials. An MP has sought the Chief Minister's intervention.
