Speaking on the sidelines of a cricket match, SSP Kupwara Yougal Manhas said the aim of organizing sports activities in Kupwara district is to provide a platform for local youth to showcase their talent.

Police will be organizing other sports activities in Kupwara district that include marathons and volleyball tournaments where youth can get a chance to showcase their talents.
Sports activities are also giving youth a chance to know each other, and the Jammu and Kashmir police are always at the forefront of providing assistance to youth in sports activities with the aim of keeping them away from the drug menace, Manhas added.
