Sports ministry endorses Pro Kabaddi League


Bangalore, July 4 (IANS): The sports ministry formally extended its support Friday to the eight-city franchise-based Pro Kabaddi League to start in Mumbai July 26.

"It is indeed very heartening to know that Mashal Sports has taken such a bold, pioneering step in re-focusing the attention of the nation towards what is our own national heritage sport," sports ministry secretary Ajit M. Sharan wrote in a letter to Mashal Sports managing director Charu Sharma, who is the brains behind the league.
