The municipality has its own sports team
The eternal dream of sportsmen and sports lovers of the city is coming true. The municipality will officially form the team in football, handball, volleyball, basketball and athletics. Visited the selection camp held at the Central Stadium yesterday. There will be 25 children in each team. Each sport will have one team of boys and girls of general category and one team of boys and girls of S/ST category. The municipality will provide the necessary training for them and this team will participate in various sports competitions held in the capital as well as representing the municipality. It is planned to make this a permanent system. The municipality will plan a comprehensive plan for it. For that, discussions will soon be held with sports players, sports fans, experts in the field of sports and government bodies including the Sports Council. Then a massive plan will be planned and implemented.
It is the duty of each and every one of us to discover the sporting talents of our children and make them the pride of the country by providing them with all possible support. The municipality is trying to do everything necessary for that. Requesting everyone’s support and cooperation.
