Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday met Tania Sachdev, a silver medalist at the Chess World Championship. He told Ms. Sachdev he was “extremely proud” of her performance and that her success will ensure that the game regains its popularity.
Mr. Kejriwal told her that the sole purpose behind the Delhi Sports University was to develop talent that can bring medals for the country. During the meeting, Ms. Sachdev spoke to the Chief Minister in detail about her performance all over the world and also shared how hard she worked towards realising her dreams since childhood.
“You and your team have made the whole country proud with your stellar performance. We have to work together to make chess reach every household of the state and bring back the fame the sport held. The Delhi government will provide any support that is required for this cause,” Mr. Kejriwal was quoted as having told her.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.
