Bathinda, November 13
To mark the celebrations of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, the four-day Punjab State Women Games (U-25) will commence in Mansa district on Thursday. As many as 3,600 players are expected to participate in the games.
Mansa Deputy Commissioner Apneet Riyait on Wednesday said it was a matter of honour for the district to organise a state-level event for the second time in a grand manner. “Our main focus is on letting people know that there is no difference between a daughter and a son. Girls can achieve all that boys can and these games are a way of empowering them,” she added.
Sanjay Kumar, Additional Chief Secretary, Sports, Punjab, will be the chief guest during the opening ceremony of the games. — TNS
