Each Karachi district to get sports complex: mayor

Mayor Murtaza Wahab has said that Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) is working for the promotion of sports as healthy activities are necessary for any society.

He said this while speaking as the chief guest at the closing ceremony of a volleyball tournament at Garden Valley Hall. "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.

It is important to attract the youth towards healthy physical activities and this type of sports should be fully supported at all levels.
