Baghmara, March 17: In an effort to strengthen the sports culture at the grassroots level and encourage greater participation of women in athletics, the District Sports Officer (DSO) of South Garo Hills, in collaboration with the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs, Government of Meghalaya, and Khelo India Centre, organised the Asmita Open Archery City League at the Baghmara Government Higher Secondary School playground.
The competition, which took place on March 15, featured two categories—sub-junior and junior.
