Khel Foundation once again brought cheers to the Kolkata Maidan. This time they invited the Groundsmen and Malis and handed over groceries to them.

The extended lockdown crushed the guardians of Maidan both mentally and economically with a crisis looming large.

The Trustee Board alongside the Executive Board and members of Khel Foundation orchestrated a programme where all the groundsmen of all the Clubs on the Kolkata Maidan came with cheers and 65 grocery packages were distributed.

Khel Foundation assured further assistance to the secluded section of the Maidan by introducing Vaccination Drive for them in collaboration with the Central Excise Athletic Club shortly.

The program was hosted by players of yesteryears Vivek Mehra, Mazhar Ali, Arshad Baig, Dilip Singh,Sabir Ali, Shashi Kapoor, Akram Hossain, Jafarulla, Mujahid, Kapoor chand, Jhantu Dey, Nadeem Ahmed and Rabiuddin Ahmed.
