Sir: Sports play a fundamental role in the development of physical, social and emotional health of young people. We in Gilgit are however deprived of platforms that could encourage youth participation in sports and sports-related activities. On the other hand Punjab has been actively promoting sports among its people through the Punjab Youth Festival. The government of Punjab and Punjab Sports Board seem keen to make the event even bigger in future so that more and more people could participate and get benefited. I urge the government of Gilgit to provide such a platform to the youth of Gilgit. This would give an opportunity to the people of my province to explore their potential and earn a name for the country. So far the government has been reluctant to work in this area. When events like Punjab Youth Festival will be launched throughout Gilgit, I am confident that we would create new world records. It would be a great service to the people of Gilgit if a sports university is also built as is being planned by the Punjab government. This will have an added effect on the tourism industry as well.
