strongNew Delhi/strong: At a time AIFF and its commercial partner IMG-Reliance are planning to float an IPL-style football league, India skipper Sunil Chhetri on Tuesday said that the sport needs to increase its glamour quotient but not at the cost of ignoring the I-League. I am happy with whatever I have been hearing and how it (IPL-style league) is going to happen. But I am not sure whether it is going to happen or not, Chhetri said about the IPL style tournament to be organised jointly by IMG-Reliance and the AIFF. For me glamourisation of football is very important but not at the cost getting away with the pool of talent we already have. It is important we should glamourise the game but we should not lose the I-league. I hope whatever is decided finally it is good for Indian football, Chettri said at a summer training camp organised by a private football entity 'Letzplay'.

strongNew Delhi:/strong Launching a fresh broadside at Oil Minister M Veerappa Moily, CPI leader and MP Gurudas Dasgupta today said no action has been taken against Reliance Industries for deliberately keeping natural gas output low and is instead being rewarded by a steep hike in prices. Dasgupta, who had previously alleged that Moily was favouring RIL by proposing a steep increase in gas prices, said the company is producing under 15 million standard cubic metres per day of gas against its own stated target of 80.
