Sports Goods Manufacturers In Jalandhar Eye Government Support For Revival

Relevance of sports in Punjab can be gauged from the fact that the state government in 2013 had announced that good performance in sports could fetch an early release for prisoners from jail. But three months of the coronavirus lockdown has broken the back of sports goods manufacturers in Jalandhar. Lesser demand coupled with shortage of labour has resulted in the disruption of supply chain. Sales pick up pace between February to May but according to Ravinder Dheer, a manufacturer and trader of sports goods, all these months have gone to waste.
