Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Real Kashmir down Chennai City at home’ DE Dec 27, 2019.
First of all, it is a good augary for the newly carved out Union Territory that sports activities have returned to the delight of sports lovers after remaining in limbo for almost 5 months in the aftermath of abrogation of Art 370. Though the stadium was not full to its capacity, as was expected the presence of 5000-6000 spectators is still quite reassuring that people of the Valley have turned in such numbers to support the local team in the bone chilling cold.
Second, the spectecular victory of Real Kashmir over defending champions-Chennai City has once again proved that the local team is emerging as a powerful football team in the country. All that it needs is supports from public and Government to keep the present momentum going on with out any break. Otherwise the team may lose its winning streak in the future.
There is great latent sports talent in the UT which needs to be tapped in the interest of the game and for the sake of the promising players.
The victory of Real Kashmir has brought smile on the faces of sports lovers once again after sports activities came to a halt abruptly after August 5, 2019.
The Real Kashmir team deserves appreciation for this achievement.
