Punjab to host World Kabaddi League
WSN Network 

GURDASPUR: The Punjab government will organise World Kabaddi League matches in February 2010, offering Rs 1-crore first prize and Rs 50 lakh and Rs 25 lakh for the second and third runners-up.

CM Prakash Singh Badal announced this at a fair held in memory of Baba Bhurewal at Jaura Chhatran village, 14 km from here, on Sunday. Punjab CM often attends such occasions with aplomb.

Badal said top kabaddi teams from various countries had been invited to participate in the kabaddi league matches. He expressed the concern that the electronic media highlighted only cricket and tennis, and ignored traditional sports like kabaddi, wrestling, hockey and football.
