With the aim to promote better relation between public and police, and to make itself approachable, the Darjeeling police has started a number of programmes which includes organizing sports activities. Today, as part of the initiative, the Darjeeling police concluded the The Friendly Taekwondo Competition at the Turnbull School premises in Darjeeling.
More than twenty-six students from various schools participated in today’s event which included both girls and boys. Speaking about the initiative Purnima Sherpa, the town DSP said, “The purpose of the tournament is to make the youths aware of being healthy and the importance of sports activities. Now days, the youths of the Hills are going the wrong way and are also indulging in substance abuse."
The Taekwondo tournament was co-sponsored and supported by the Himalayan Sporting Taekwondo Training Association and the Taekwondo Sporting Academic Club of Darjeeling. The winners of today’s event will be awarded by the Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during her visit to Darjeeling on January 22.
“We want the youths to feel that they have achieved something and get a morale boost. This is the reason we decided that the winners should be awarded by the CM herself when she comes to the Hills in January,” said the town DSP. The winners of archery and football events, which concluded in October, will also be awarded by the CM. The selected students from the taekwondo competition will be sponsored by the Darjeeling police to participate in a similar competition in Assam, as a guest team.
