With the ongoing COVID pandemic the country is going under havoc altogether. With many big names mourned last year and this year, we lost another soul today. The demise of Sanjib Barla has put the Indian hockey federation in grief.
Sanjib Barla represented the Odisha National Hockey team and was the former India Camper as well. Barla died at the age of 34 and will be remembered in our prayers.
