The medal winners at the Tokyo Olympics will get “free cement to build their dream homes”, city-based Shree Cement Limited (SCL), the principal stakeholders in the East Bengal football club, announced on Monday.

“India’s athletes are competing at the highest level of sporting prowess and doing us proud. As both an Indian and a sports enthusiast, I feel that it is important to give back a little something for all that they are doing” said SCL managing director HM Bangur.
