Uttarakhand 28 January se 12 February tak hone wale 38th National Games ko host karne ke liye taiyar hai, sports department ne inn events ke liye apni taiyariyan express ki hain. Halanki, state ke aquatics representation me ak significant gap saamne aai hai, kyunki diving aur water polo ke liye koi player nahi hai. Keval swimming event ke liye hi athlete taiyar huye hain, jabki diving aur water polo me competition organize karne ke efforts abhi tak materialise nahi ho paaye.
Haldwani ke Gaulapur sthit Indira Gandhi International Sports Complex me aayojit hone wali National Games me swimming, diving and water polo ki competitions hongi. Host hone ke naate Uttarakhand se teeno hi aquatics events me participate karne ki ummeed hai. Halanki, diving and water polo me players ki kami ne state ki compete and win medals ki taiyari ko lekar concerns raised kar di hain.
Iss challenge me contribute karne wala ak major factor diving pool sahit facilities ki kami hai. 2015 me start hone wale National Games ki preparations ke baawjood, inn events me coaches and players ko training dene ki koi provision nhi hai. Haldwani ke FTI Road pool me diving stand toh banaye gaye, lekin necessary facilities and training ki vyavastha nahi ki gayi.
Peyjal Nigam ke assistant engineer Shailendra Bhandari ne bataya ki swimming, diving and warm-up pools ko har mausam ke anukool banane ka kaam festive season ke baad start hoga aur December me iske start hone ki ummeed hai.
Iske alawa Uttarakhand me swimming pool toh hai, lekin trained water polo players nahi hain. Gaulapur me do saal se swimming pool operate hone ke baawjood khelon ki taiyari ke liye koi water polo team nahi banai gayi hai. Limited timeframe ke bheetar men’s and women’s dono teams ko identify kar unhe train karnenki jarurat hai.
Uttarakhand Swimming Association (USA) ki secretary Seema Mehrotra me bache huye time diving and water polo ke liye players ka selection aur taiyari karne ki difficulty ko acknowledge kiya. Unhone kaha, “ak baar pool taiyar ho jaane ke baad, hum players ko taiyar karne ke liye training and campus conduct karna start kar denge,” unhone kaha ki wo “competitive team taiyar karne ke liye apna best karenge.”
Naam na batane ki shart par USA ke ak official ne bataya, “State ne swimming pool ke all-weather ke anukool modification ke liye lagbhag 7.5 crores ka budget allocate kiya hai, halanki diving and warm-up pool ke liye proposal abhi bhi approval ke liye pending hai. Time beeta ja raha hai, kyuki Uttarakhand ke sports department ke saamne khelon ke liye time par diving and water polo ke liye athletes ko taiyar karne ka kaam challenging hai.”
