Dimapur, August 28 (EMN): Deputy Commissioner of Phek, Kovi Meyase inaugurated the 1st Khuniho memorial trophy at Chozuba town on Monday, August 28. The tournament is organised by 111, BN, BSF Satakha town in memory of Khuniho Sema, post commander who along with his seven comrades made the supreme sacrifice of laying down their life's defending their post.
The main objective of the organisers is to encourage and tap the young talents in the districts and they also look forward to include more teams in the coming years which will be an annual event.
In his speech the DC thanked the CO and his team for organising such an important event for the youths in the districts. He encouraged the youths to dream big, citing the examples of the great footballers like Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo who were all the products of suburbs and villages like ours. Lack of practice, perseverance, dedication and discipline are the reasons our state is lacking behind other states, he further stated. The first exhibition match was played between the administrative staff of Chozuba town and 111 BN, BSF.
