Peren, Oct. 9 (EMN): The 12th edition of Peren town Inter-ward football tournament began today with a glittering ceremony in the presence of government officials and public leaders.
26 teams including 15 in men’s and 11 in women’s have registered their participation in the tournament organised by Peren Town Youth Organisation (PTYO).
Launching the tournament as the chief guest, Masangum, PS to Chief Minister, advised the participants to remain mentally, physically and spiritually fit to be a good sportsman coupled with regular practice.
He has voiced against the tendency to practice only at the time of tournament and remain idle during off season. He has also cautioned against indulging in other intoxicant substances which will ultimately ruin them professionally and physically.
On the economic front, he encouraged the young talents to learn standing on their feet by exploiting the resources bestowed in the district.
He advised them to wake up from their slumber and inculcate work culture in order to be self reliant without depending on others.
Masangum also called upon the younger generation to maintain balance between politics and social life, which if misused could have disastrous consequences.
He further urged the gathering to work together in unity to solve the common problem without merely blaming the leaders in the event of any natural calamity.
He expressed confident that with unity and peace, the district will march forward in all fronts at par with others.
