It was a very gloomy evening for everyone at Holkar Stadium when the 'MPCA Family' gathered here to offer condolences on the demise of MPCA Members, Cricketer, and all associates whom MPCA had lost during the recent past. Several restrictions, periodic lockdowns, and standard prohibitions during the frightful times of Covid-19, had prevented us from performing social custom and practice during such period of grief and offer sympathy to the bereaved families who lost their dear ones.
Mr. Abhilash Khandekar (President, MPCA), and Mr. Jyotiraditya M Scindia (Past President – Chairman of MPCA and Hon'ble Minister of Civil Aviation) expressed their unreserved emotions and deep feelings on the loss of so many senior members, cricketers, and colleagues, remembering the contribution of each one of them.
The souls whom we lost were an integral part of MPCA for a long period, having contributed to shape the edifice of MPCA throughout their association with us. Though words are, and will always, be inadequate to express the sorrow someone feels upon loss of 'MPCA Family Constituent', Senior Members of MPCA expressed their memories and sentiments related to the Members whom we lost in such a short span of 5-6 months.
