· Children watched a live cricket match at Dharamshala Stadium

Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu once again demonstrated his compassionate and sensitive leadership by fulfilling a promise made to underprivileged children. As many as 160 children residing in slum settlements and studying at Tong Len School, Sarah area of Dharamshala, were today given the opportunity to watch the India-South Africa T20 International cricket match live at the stadium.

This special gesture was in keeping with the assurance and promise made by the Chief Minister during his recent visit to Dharamshala. For these children, who come from families with extremely limited means, watching an international cricket match from the stands of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium was nothing short of a dream come true.

The Chief Minister’s initiative brought smiles to the children’s faces. Their excitement, enthusiasm and joy were clearly visible throughout the match, making the experience truly memorable for them.

Expressing their gratitude to the Chief Minister, the children thanked him for keeping his promise and said that it was the first time they had witnessed such a grand sporting event up close was an experience they would cherish for a lifetime. The school management and parents also lauded the Chief Minister’s humane step and said that such initiatives instill the confidence among children from marginalized sections and inspire them to aspire for a better future.

They said that this was the first occasion on which children from Tong Len School had watched an international-level cricket match at the Dharamshala stadium and they are extremely thankful to the Chief Minister for providing such a wonderful opportunity to their children.
