Recalling the declaration of a national holiday by then Prime Minister, late Jawaharlal Nehru, when Milkha Singh defeated Pak champion Abdul Khaliq in Lahore in 1960, the CM said emotionally that he wished he could have also declared a national holiday today.
Earlier Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh announced a Milkha Singh Chair at Sports University Patiala, in memory of the great athlete.
Singh, who had narrowly missed out on an Olympic medal, finishing fourth at the 400m final of the 1960 Rome Games, had a record-shattering feat in Cuttack in 1968 in the 200 metres and 400 metres race in the National Games.
Indian sprinter Milkha Singh passed away in Chandigarh on Friday after a month-long battle with COVID-19. He was 91.
This week, Singh was discharged from Mohali's hospital. But he had to be taken to PGIMER on June 3 after he complained of low oxygen level.
Last week, Singh was admitted to the hospital after having tested positive for Covid-19. Later, his wife was also admitted as she, too, tested positive for Covid-19.
Milkha Singh's son Jeev Milkha Singh is one of the top golfing icons in the country.
After acing the role of an athlete in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Farhan Akhtar is all set to step into the boxing ring for Toofan .
Toofan, an Excel Entertainment production in association with ROMP pictures, will be hitting the screens on October 2, 2020.
