Punjab cabinet approved the sports department’s plan to enact a new law, the Punjab State (Development & Promotion of Sports) Act, 2024, to promote sports in the state.
Punjab will be the first state in the country to do so.
The main objective was to adopt best practices for sports and to ensure the fair selection of players.
Five-member committee will select the team to represent a district or the state.
A five-member sexual harassment committee at the district level also will be notified by the district magistrate.
