Medal winners of Commonwealth Games will be given full respect to all the players. For this, Hariyana's Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has approved the file of the Sports Department. This information was given by Haryana Sports Minister Anil Vij on Friday.

Earlier, the state government had decided that those players who played on behalf of various ministries would be honored by cutting the award money from the Ministry. The government had to cancel the respect function even after its protest.

On June 10, after the protest, Anil Vij had said that the file was sent to the Chief Minister regarding giving the full prize money. 38 players from Haryana participated in the Commonwealth Games. 22 (9 gold, 6 silver, 7 bronze) medals won. 11 of them represented Haryana, while the remaining 11 were played by different ministries or undertakings.

After this order of the Haryana Government, there will again be a respect ceremony. A total of 90 players will be honored in this. Among them are 22 medal winners of the Commonwealth Games, 16 participants. The remaining 60 players are medalists from Haryana on international level competitions. Gold medal winning player has to pay 1.5 crore, silver medal winner to 75 lakh and bronze medal winner will be given Rs 50 lakh. The date of the respect ceremony is not fixed now.

The appointment letter to 207 players who won medals in international sports in the previous Congress government and BJP tenure will start this month. Their files have been approved by CM. About 300 players came to the application. 207 applications were found correct.
