SURANKOTE:
Sports
play an important role in shaping the personality of youth and serve as health
elixir for youth and nurture them both mentally and physically. To inculcate
the spirit of physical fitness among children and youth a Rashtriya Rifles
Battalion under the aegis of Romeo Force organised a “Run for Fun” competition
today at Daraba.
A large number of
school children and youth of far flung & remote areas participated in it. The
competition was held under three age groups. In first group school children
below 10 years took part in 1 km run whereas students between age group of
above 11 to 13 years participated in 1.5 km run and in the third group students
between age of 14-15 years took part in 2.5 km run. More
than 100 children took part in the event.
The event was witnessed by
citizens of the nearby villages and sports fans of all age groups. The
participants on their part put up a fine display of sportsmanship and
discipline. Prizes were distributed to individuals securing first three
positions in each category to boost their morale. Mrs Mumtaz Begum, Principal Government Middle School Chandimar was
highly appreciative of Army’s thoughtfulness for conduct of such type of event
for school going children which was enjoyed by youth as well as their
parents.
