Minister Discusses Sports Association Reforms

In an interview, Minister Roy addressed the previous issues within the sports association, stating, "The association was plagued by corruption, which hindered local players from getting opportunities while outsiders took their place.

The new leadership is comprised of individuals genuinely connected to the sport, with Olympian Dipa Karmakar appointed as president."

The event showcased a vibrant turnout from athletes and sports enthusiasts, highlighting the increasing passion for sports in Tripura.

The celebration concluded with a reaffirmation of the Olympic values of friendship, respect, and fair competition. Dipak Majumder, the Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation, also attended the event.
