Balachaur, November 11 (Jatinderpal Singh Kaler):- The first day of the 37th grand wrestling tournament, being organised at Jakhewal with the blessings of the revered Sant Baba Dhangoo Wale Ji, began with great enthusiasm, excitement and devotion. On the very first day, renowned wrestlers who had arrived from far and wide showcased their impressive wrestling skills and techniques in the arena, winning the hearts of thousands of spectators. The entire venue echoed with the wrestlers’ spirited performances and the applause of the audience.
On this occasion, Aam Aadmi Party District President and Chairman of the District Planning Board, Advocate Sanjeev Chaudhary Chechi, arrived with his team to attend the event. The organisers and devotees warmly welcomed him. He paid obeisance at Baba Ji’s shrine and prayed for the prosperity and peace of the region and a bright future for its youth.
Advocate Sanjeev Chaudhary Chechi said that this was a sacred place from where he had received valuable lessons, inspiration to progress in life and motivation to follow the path of public service. Baba Ji’s blessings and guidance would always remain invaluable to him. He said that Baba Ji’s teachings emphasised that work performed with humility, service and honesty was the true form of worship, and that he was serving the people by following the same path.
Paying his deepest respects at the feet of Baba Ji, he said that this tournament, being organised continuously for the past 37 years, was not merely a sporting competition but also a symbol of cultural heritage, community harmony and devotion connected with the Guru Ghar. Such fairs and events inspire young people to stay away from drugs and embrace sports, good health and discipline, which are among the greatest needs of the present times.
The intense contests between wrestlers kept the spectators engrossed throughout the tournament. From young wrestlers to seasoned participants, everyone displayed tremendous strength and skill. The organisers had made adequate arrangements for both the wrestlers and the spectators.
Advocate Sanjeev Chaudhary Chechi congratulated the organising committee, volunteers and the entire congregation for successfully organising the tournament. Encouraging the wrestlers, he said that sportsmanship and discipline were more important than victory or defeat, and that a young person who sweats it out in the wrestling arena never loses in life. He assured everyone that all possible support would continue to be extended to such religious and sporting events in the future.
