Banihal, Jan 30: Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Sajjad Shaheen on Thursday laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art Open Air Gym on the premises of Government Higher Secondary School, Banihal to promote fitness and well-being among the youth.
A large number of locals, sports enthusiasts and officials were present at the event, marking another milestone in the region’s journey towards fostering a culture of sports and healthy living, the MLA’s office said in a statement issued here.
Expressing gratitude to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Minister for Food, Transport, and Youth Services & Sports, Satish Sharma, and Secretary Youth Services and Sports Sharmad Hafiz, MLA Shaheen acknowledged their overwhelming support in developing sports infrastructure in Banihal.
“I sincerely thank Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for his vision and commitment to empowering youth through sports. His leadership has been instrumental in bringing such projects to the ground. I also extend my gratitude to Minister Satish Sharma for his support in ensuring that modern fitness facilities are made available for our youth,” he said.
The Open Air Gym, once completed, will provide a well-equipped space for fitness enthusiasts and young athletes, encouraging a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Highlighting the surge in sports infrastructure development across Banihal, Shaheen informed that several projects, including a full-fledged stadium, an indoor sports complex, mini-stadiums, and multiple playgrounds across the constituency, are in progress to nurture local talent.
He raised concerns over the rising drug menace in society and made a heartfelt appeal to the youth to play an active role in combating the issue. “Our youth are the backbone of our society. While we are creating opportunities for them through sports and education, it is equally important that they remain away from the dangers of drug abuse. I urge our young generation to come forward and actively participate in eradicating this menace from our society. Together, we must build a future that is healthy, progressive, and free from addiction,” he added.
Local residents and youth organisations welcomed the initiative, vowing to support efforts in promoting fitness, sports and drug-free society, the statement said, adding that the Open Air Gym is expected to be completed within the stipulated timeframe, adding to the growing sports ecosystem in Banihal.
