Tragic Collapse Claims Lives of Promising Basketball Players
Two young basketball players lost their lives in a devastating incident in Haryana when a dilapidated basketball pole collapsed on them. The tragic event has sparked outrage and demands for accountability from political leaders.
Congress Accuses Government of Negligence
Senior Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda directly blamed the Haryana government's negligence for the deaths of Hardik and Aman, describing them as promising young athletes whose lives were cut short unnecessarily. In an official statement, Hooda expressed deep concern over the poor maintenance of sports infrastructure that led to this preventable tragedy.
The incident occurred when the poorly maintained basketball pole gave way and fell on the two players during what should have been a routine practice session. Both athletes were unable to survive the impact of the collapsing structure.
Demands for Thorough Investigation and Accountability
Hooda has called for an impartial, high-level investigation into the circumstances that led to the fatal collapse. He emphasized the need for strict action against those responsible for maintaining the sports facility and ensuring such infrastructure meets safety standards.
The Congress leader's statement highlights growing concerns about the condition of sports facilities across the state and the potential risks they pose to young athletes pursuing their sporting dreams. The tragedy has raised serious questions about the maintenance protocols and safety inspections of government-run sports infrastructure.
Family members and the sporting community are mourning the loss of two talented players who had shown great promise in basketball. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proper maintenance of sports facilities and the consequences of administrative neglect.
