He further added “Proud to inaugurate 6 badminton courts & 2 volleyball courts in Mohali. Investing in sports is investing in our youth. Built using my MPLADS funds this sports infra for our youth means healthier habits and brighter futures. Giving our youth safe spaces to play, grow and dream. That’s what public funds are meant for.”

He said “These courts are not just structures made of concrete — they are safe spaces where our youth can play, grow, compete and dream. Public funds must be used to build opportunities, confidence and healthier futures for the next generation,” he said.

Local residents, sportspersons and youth groups welcomed the initiative, noting that the new facilities would significantly improve access to organized sports and encourage greater participation at the community level.
