SANGHAR, Feb 25 (APP): Malh Pehlwans and athletes associated with indigenous sports are considered a valuable asset to society. Ensuring their welfare, encouragement, and addressing their challenges remains a top priority for the Sports Department. These remarks were made by District Sports Officer Sanghar, Kainat Qamar, during a ceremony held to distribute financial aid checks among local Malh Pehlwans.
Speaking at the event, she highlighted that the department has taken significant measures to support athletes involved in traditional sports. Under the Endowment Fund, financial aid checks were distributed to four Malh Pehlwans in the district.
