Sub-Junior Punjab Basketball Championship Begins Amid Court Repairs in Ludhiana
The Sub-Junior Punjab State U-14 Basketball Championship commenced at Guru Nanak Stadium, Ludhiana, after the original venue was waterlogged due to heavy rain. One of the stadium's two indoor courts remains under repair due to defects in the imported maple flooring, with repairs expected to take up to a month. Despite this, matches proceeded as scheduled, with teams like Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda, and Mohali advancing to the semifinals in both boys' and girls' categories. The tournament was inaugurated by local basketball officials.
