The Chak De factor, it seems, has had no effect on the women's hockey establishment. For the girls hockey team — which enjoyed an 11-day dream tour of Australia, where they won seven out of eight matches and got to stay in a decent hotels/apartments — coming back home has been a nightmarish experience. They have been lodged in hellish surroundings, their match fees and stipends long suspended. Some for them, it seems, are now at breaking point.
The girls have been lodged in an abysmal dormitory at the Karnail Singh Stadium, with hockey officials saying no other facility was available when the team landed late on Sunday night.
