Bahadurgarh. After Rohtak, Haryana, now a basketball player has died in Jhajjar also. A young player lost his life when a pole fell on the court. This death also tells the story of the poor condition of the government system.
Actually, the pole under which 15 year old Aman died was very old and had become dilapidated. Its base was destroyed in the war but neither the education department, nor the sports department nor the local administration took care of it. Now after the accident the sports department is admitting its mistake. District Sports Officer Satyendra says that it is our fault because no repair of the pole was done for a long time. He said that a promising player has died which is unfortunate and a matter of shame for us.
He said that a committee will be formed to get all the sports equipment checked and the faulty equipment will be removed. Budget will be sought from the department for installing new equipment. Senior coaches and in-charges of Rajiv Gandhi sports stadiums will be included in the inquiry committee.
Aman was the only brother of two sisters.
Due to the death of 15 year old Aman, his family is completely devastated. There is an atmosphere of mourning at home. Aman was the only brother of two sisters. Was playing and learning basketball for two years. The father starts crying while talking about his son. The last words of his son are echoing in his mind and heart. When he reached PGI Rohtak for treatment, the doctors asked him to get an ultrasound done, but no doctor there took pity on him and his son died in his hands. The family members of deceased Aman have accused the doctors of PGI of negligence. If treatment had been received at the right time, perhaps Aman could have been saved. Before dying, the son had told his father, Papa, give me water to drink. These are the last words, remembering which tears are flowing from the father’s eyes.
This is the second incident of basketball pole breaking
This is the second incident of basketball pole breaking in Bahadurgarh. The first incident happened in the year 2022. At that time also a child was seriously injured. Now the latest incident happened on Sunday and on Tuesday Aman died during treatment in PGI Rohtak. Aman had left the house to play for some time. Mother tried her best to stop him, but he insisted and went to play. At that very moment his aunt had come to the house to invite him for her son’s wedding. Told father to bring good clothes and shoes worth Rs. 4 thousand for aunt’s son’s wedding.
Recently won three medals
The father had told him that son, I will definitely get you shoes worth Rs. 4 thousand. Suresh, who was working on contract at DRDO Sena Bhawan, Delhi, had started driving Rapido along with his job to fulfill his son’s wishes. A few days ago, Aman had won three medals in the school games and by tying those medals around his father’s neck, Aman had expressed his courage to become a great player. But Aman’s courage was destroyed by the poverty of the government system even before it could take off.
Aman used to study in 10th class
Aman was a class 10 student and studied in Rama Bharti School in Linepar area. Father is working on contract in Delhi Sena Bhawan and mother teaches in a private school. Among the two sisters, one is a class 12 student, while the other is studying in Delhi University. People are coming home to express their condolences. State Olympic Association Vice President Anil Khatri has also consoled the family. But no one from the education department, sports department or local administration went to share the grief of the bereaved family.
