Army organise cricket tournament at Panzgam

Youth from various Tehsils of Kupwara District participated in the tournament. The participating teams for Inter Tehsil Cricket Competition were from Kalaruch, Kupwara, Patha Hiri, Trahagam Chowkibal and Panzgam.
Kupwara team won the tournament which was based on knockout basis. Brigadier Ram Niwas, Commander Hajipir Brigade, presented prizes to the winning team.
Speaking on the occasion, Commander Hajipir Brigade said that these types of competition will surely help in promoting the spirit of brotherhood among the youth.
