Officials mess up revenue dist basketball team selection trials

However, we were greeted by chaos," said Sriviji P V, a parent. The parents alleged the official who was appointed by the DDE's office to officiate the tournament did not have any expertise in basketball. "Imagine children having to spend an entire day in the hot sun, just because a few officials did not organise the trials well. It was a mess," Sriviji said. According to him, the officials with the DDE office pinned the blame on the Physical Education (PE) teachers. "How can they blame the PE teachers when the DDE's office was well aware that the teachers are on strike. They could have made alternative arrangements. Of course, many PE teachers accompanied the teams. However, since they were on strike, they refused to participate," he said. No umpire was selected to oversee the tournament, the parents alleged. "When we contacted the Sports Council and the basketball association, we found they were not contacted by the officials regarding the selection tourney," Sriviji said. After a long wait, the students had to leave the ground by 3 pm as the selection trials were postponed, said Sriviji. D Leela, Deputy Director of Education said the PE teachers' strike was the main reason why the selection trials did not go as planned. "We had designated required number of PE teachers for the purpose. Even, a Sports Council expert was decided upon. However, the person could not make it as he met with an accident," she said. According to her, the DDE's office had sent a letter to all PE teachers asking them to join duty. "We have sorted out the issue. We will conduct the selections on Thursday at Carmel Stadium," she said. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
