'Shooter' told to leave range for flouting coaching ban

I am a national shooter besides being an NCC cadet,' said Poonam. 'I will take (legal) action against this. What more can I do if a shooter is not allowed in an academy owned by the government?' Poonam got support from former international shooter and chief coach of national junior pistol programme, Jaspal Rana. 'Karni Singh Shooting ranges declared parents and coaches free zone,' Jaspal tweeted and posed questions to Sports Authority of India (SAI) on the range administration. Rana pointed out to a circular issued on June 14 by the administration which said, 'No parent/guardian will be allowed to interfere in training or sit near the FOP (field of play). They will be seated at the conference room located in the administrative block.' Manjushree Dayanand, the range administrator, said Poonam had been coming to the range with Rana and providing private coaching during the come-and-play scheme. 'No private coaching is allowed in SAI stadiums and recently an order has been issued in this regard,' Manjushree said. 'She was told not to do it on many occasions. I last saw her at the 50m range and had sent a message to her and Jaspal Rana because she claims to be Jaspal's assistant, but she did not budge. We have orders from the head office to strictly follow the rules,' she added. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
