Kashmir: Construction of new playground in full swing in Wakura, players welcome move
Wakura: To encourage sporting activities in Jammu and Kashmir, the construction of a new playground is in full swing at Wakura village in Ganderbal district.
Chairman of Block Development Council Wakura, Ghulam Mohd Malik told The Singapore Post that the playground will play a vital role to help youths of the district to show their hidden talent in overall sports.
“It has been eight months that I became chairman of the block. I felt that the youth in this area are good at sports and they are in need of a good playground. The playground is being constructed for an amount of Rs 13.24 lakhs,” Malik told the news portals.
Malik said funds are being released regularly since Jammu and Kashmir became Union Territory after the abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019.
The local players expressed their happiness that the government is expending funds to develop sports infrastructure in the region.
“It is a very good initiative by the government. Construction is in the full swing. Authorities have promised to improve facilities and they are continuously doing it. Since last August work has been going at full speed and I hope, it will be completed soon. We can play all types of games here after completion of work,” Adil Ahmad, one of the local players told the news portal.
