Srinagar, Oct 10: Army today organized a Kho-Kho event at its Sumbal Camp in North Kashmir’s Bandipora district in a bid to promote sports culture.
A Defence spokesman said the fast improving situation in the Valley is largely owed to the relentless yet synergistic efforts of the Government, security forces and civil administration as also the response of the people to those efforts.
“The conduct of various sporting events has played a significant role in constructively engaging with the youth,” he said.
The spokesman said “The whole hearted turnout of youth for the game was a welcome sight while the spectators were entertained to an enthralling match played between Nowgam and Sumbal in a very joyful atmosphere.”
He said the prizes were given to all the participants followed by tea and refreshment.
