Ludhiana, Dec. 13 -- The Ludhiana Municipal Corporation has cancelled the tender for installing 120 new floodlights at Guru Nanak Stadium after the technical evaluation committee raised objections over several "highly specific" conditions that could have limited participation. The Rs.4-crore project, aimed at upgrading the stadium's lighting to international standards for day-night football matches, will now be re-tendered.

Confirming the development, MC commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal said the decision was taken after a detailed review. "The tender has been cancelled as the conditions were very specific, where very few companies could participate. I have formed a committee in this regard, and they have recommended cancellation," he said....
