India's top squash players Joshna Chinnappa and Deepika Pallikal say they are yet to receive the allowance of Rs 950 a day
New Delhi: India's top squash players Joshna Chinnappa and Deepika Pallikal say they are yet to receive the allowance of Rs 950 a day, which the core probables training for the Commonwealth Games are entitled to, while the federation insists that it has disbursed the amount.
The Squash Rackets Federation of India said the Rs 3.16 crore grant from the sports ministry has been released for the training of core probables.
"I get most of what I ask from the federation. But I was not aware of my daily allowance. Nobody from the federation informed me," Joshna said. Deepika concurred with her teammate. "I did not know that we are entitled to a daily allowance until IANS brought it to our notice," she said.
