As per the Maharashtra government’s latest (December 29) order, carrom has been removed from the list of 38 games for the prestigious Shiv Chhatrapati Award. This has came as a shock to the carrom fraternity with Maharashtra Carrom Association (MCA) secretary Arun Kedar calling it an abrupt and illogical decision.
“It will affect the game very badly as players will stop playing carrom. So far, the government is giving us only the Shiv Chhatrapati award, nothing else. We will discuss the issue in our MCA meeting soon and act,” Kedar told mid-day from Goa on Monday.
