Will clear all hurdles to revive, boost Punjab's rural sports: CM
Ludhiana: Announcing the revival of traditional rural sports in Punjab that were dying due to legal restrictions, chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann Tuesday promised and assured that his govt will remove all legal hurdles to promote and preserve the state's glorious sports heritage. Addressing a gathering at a function organised by sports lovers to thank Mann for paving the way for the revival of bullcok cart races in the state, the CM said, "Bullock cart races are not just a source of entertainment, but represent the rich cultural heritage of rural Punjab. Such races were held in the state since ancient times and served as a living connection to our traditions and cultural identity. Guru Nanak Dev, the first Sikh Guru, also practised farming with bullocks during his time in Kartarpur Sahib. " Mann said the ban on bullock cart races had not only disheartened lovers of traditional sports, but had also dealt a blow to the state's heritage. There was a growing clamour from Punjabis to bring a new law so that these traditional games could be brought back to life. So, on July 11, the historic 'Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Punjab Amendment) Bill, 2025' was passed unanimously in the Punjab assembly, he told the gathering. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The CM said this law will not only help preserve indigenous animal breeds of Punjab, but will also eventually lead to the revival of bullock cart races. He said the law now awaits the consent of the President of India, after which the races can be officially conducted again. Speaking about the new legislation, Mann explained that its primary objective is to ensure safety measures for animals participating in sports, including veterinary supervision, safety standards, registration and documentation, and penalties for violations — so that no cruelty is inflicted upon voiceless animals. The CM also announced that the govt will explore possibilities of reviving pigeon flying competitions as well. Referring to the sports festival held at Kila Raipur village, he said the games which began in 1933 are popularly known as "Mini Olympics" or "Rural Olympics". Mann said these games have received international recognition, having been covered by BBC, Discovery Channel, and others, adding that even past presidents of the country have attended these games in the past. Thanking the public for their overwhelming support to the govt's war against drugs, the CM emphasised that drug abuse is not limited to one house or district but affects the entire state. He said many young people in Punjab have fallen prey to drugs, adding those who laid the pyres of youth are the real enemies of society and they will not be spared at any cost. Mann claimed that those "affluent leaders" who were behind the "genocide of youth" have already been put behind bars, and the drive to demolish the houses of drug smugglers with bulldozers will continue in the coming days too. Mann questioned former CM Capt Amarinder Singh for "showing concern" for the human rights of the "kingpin" of the entire drug trade currently lodged in Nabha jail, and asked why such concern was never shown for the people of Punjab. On irrigation, the CM said when he assumed office, only 21% of agricultural land across the state was irrigated using canal water, but today it has risen to 63%. Uninterrupted electricity is also being provided for paddy cultivation. For the first time, farmers are switching off their tube wells due to surplus water availability, he added.

City bids farewell to its four-legged marathon mascot of Marine Drive
Mumbai: City lost a small but spirited icon on July 28, with the passing away of Shaggy, the beloved stray dog who lived outside the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) and became an unofficial mascot of the Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM). Known for trotting alongside participants and barking encouragement as they crossed Marine Drive, Shaggy was honoured posthumously by the marathon organizers — a tribute reflecting how deeply this street dog had embedded himself into the city's heart. A statement from the Tata Mumbai Marathon's official Instagram handle read, "Shaggy was a cherished part of our TMM family, always cheering runners with his wagging tail on race day. We'll miss his joyful spirit dearly." For 16 years, Shaggy made Marine Drive his home, becoming a familiar sight to joggers and residents alike. But he was more than just a fixture on the promenade — he was a guardian and companion to the 60–70 stray dogs that live along the seafront. His presence inspired the formation of A Pawfect Haven, a community-driven initiative founded and funded by South Mumbai residents Peppino Bahl, Viral D. Mehta, Aparna Asar, Bansi Kamodia, Kirti Makhijani, and several other animal lovers. The group pours their hearts into the welfare of the strays from Marine Drive to Cuff Parade and ensures that they receive regular meals twice a day, medical care, and even baths. Every stray in the area sports a special collar tag with an emergency contact number. "Over the years, people in the area have become extremely sensitised to the basic requirements of our dogs. The cops in the area are also very kind to our dogs," said lawyer Peppino Bahl.

"Shaggy was a part of our group when we trained at Nariman Point. He used to run with us, sometimes all the way to Worli and back. We used to joke he was probably an athlete in his last life," recalled 65-year-old marathoner Sir Savio D'souza. On hearing of his passing, heartfelt tributes poured in from community members. "He lived a full life, loved by so many, and in his own way, he made the city kinder," said Viral Mehta, CCO of Dimexon Diamonds
