In a bid to promote sports culture, encourage youth participation and channelise their energy towards constructive activities, Ganderbal Police inaugurated a football tournament under the Civic Action Programme (CAP) at the Indoor Stadium, Sehpora.
The inaugural ceremony was chaired by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ganderbal, accompanied by Deputy SP Headquarters Ganderbal.
As many as 16 teams from different parts of the district are participating in the tournament, providing young and aspiring footballers an opportunity to showcase their sporting talent, skills and competitive spirit.
The tournament kicked off with an exciting opening encounter between FC Max and FC Gulistan. In an entertaining contest, FC Max registered a 2–1 victory over FC Gulistan, marking a winning start to the competition.
The initiative is aimed at providing local youth with a healthy platform to demonstrate their abilities while promoting discipline, teamwork, mutual understanding and sportsmanship.
Through such youth-centric initiatives, Ganderbal Police is also seeking to strengthen police-public relations and encourage young people to remain engaged in positive and productive activities.
