J&K Shooters, Ladakh Archers Reflect The Bonhomie Of Khelo India Games thebridge.in

Jammu and Kashmir’s young pistol shooters Samarth Tuli and Laabibah Michelle Tahir could not stop needling one another onboard the first chartered flight, operated by SpiceJet from Delhi to compete the Khelo India Youth Games here. Seated in the Executive Class, they paused only when refreshments were served.
Samarth Tuli, all of 10 years of age, and Laabibah, older only by a couple of years, reflected the bonhomie and camaraderie that filled the Boeing 737 cabin with infectious energy and enthusiasm as 26 athletes from Jammu and Kashmir were among the first to be flown in for the Games. SpiceJet is operating eight flights to make it easy for young athletes to reach the Assam capital.
