Jammu, Nov 10: Secretary of the Jammu and Kashmir Sports Council (JKSC) Tazayun Mukhtar conducted a comprehensive inspection tour of key athletic complexes across Jammu on Sunday, issuing on-the-spot directives to operationalize residential and boarding arrangements for young fencing athletes enrolled at the Khelo India State Centre of Excellence (KISCE).
The inspection covered several critical sports venues, including the Shastri Nagar Playfield, the Indoor Stadium at Bhagwati Nagar, and the central Maulana Azad (MA) Stadium complex. A primary focus of the administrative visit was resolving protracted accommodation difficulties faced by outstation trainees at the elite KISCE Fencing Centre.
While touring the Sports Training Centre (STC) hostel facilities at MA Stadium, Mukhtar conducted an in-depth review of existing living quarters, dining halls, and hygiene protocols. Addressing the accommodation backlog directly, the Secretary identified specific hostel wings and instructed the JKSC Construction Division (Jammu) to carry out immediate civil refinements to render the residential facilities fully functional for the national fencers.
Earlier during the tour, Mukhtar evaluated playing surfaces, training equipment, and utility amenities at Shastri Nagar Playfield and the Bhagwati Nagar Indoor Complex, soliciting direct feedback from resident coaches and groundskeepers regarding required civil upgrades and maintenance schedules. She insisted on strict adherence to construction quality benchmarks and the optimal scheduling of facilities to benefit local youth clubs.
Reaffirming the Sports Council’s mandate, Mukhtar stated that the UT administration remains dedicated to creating a comprehensive, athlete-centric sporting ecosystem. She noted that providing comfortable residential care alongside top-tier coaching is paramount to preparing J&K’s athletes for medal-winning performances at national championships and international competitive circuits.
