During the discussion, Sharma stated that during his visit to the villages of South Andaman, the youths of Stewardgunj have informed that due to non availability of playground the youth folk are facing acute difficulty for practicing various sports. They are forced to spend their spare time on gossiping or loitering.
The PCC Prez also informed that the youths of Wimberligunj stated that they have a very good ground, which can be converted as a stadium, which will motivate the youth towards sports. The stadium can also be used to arrange many sports events.
