"We are trying to build sports complexes in all districts of Karachi so that the youth can develop their skills and have ample opportunities to express their talent," the mayor said. PPP leader Sardar Khan and a large number of people from Gilgit were also present on this occasion.
Mayor Wahab watched the final match of the tournament and praised the players for their good performance and distributed prizes to the winning players at the end of the match.
