Rain disrupted the state-level Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan games on Sunday, forcing baseball and cycling events to be suspended for the day.
“Due to the rainfall since morning, not a single match was played.
Continuous rainfall since Sunday morning prevented any baseball matches from being held, said Harbir Singh Gill, secretary of the Punjab Baseball Association. These competitions will be carried forward on Monday,” Harbir added.
Satwinder Singh, a cycling coach at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), said buffer days had been built into the schedule to ensure the competitions concluded by October 15, the original closing date. “The dates clash with other athletics championships, which is why this event was deferred.
District sports officer Mandeep Kaushal said the athletics schedule clashed with other competitions, including the Youth National Championships and the State School Games, prompting the decision to postpone the contest. Apart from this, as of now, the rest of the games would be conducted as per the schedule,” he said.
