Taking serious note of reports about the sports trainees taken ill after eating the morning meal at the institute, Punjab Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer ordered an inquiry and sought an action-taken report within three days.
Hayer asked the special chief secretary of sports to investigate the entire matter. The minister said there can be no compromise on the health of the players and the government is fully committed to their safety. If any lapse is found, those responsible will not be spared, he said.
