Wokha dist administration sports concludes

The first ever Wokha district administration staff sports meet concluded on a festive note after two days of hard-fought competitions, bonding and camaraderie between colleagues and fellow workers here at public ground, Wokha Saturday.

SP Wokha Limasunep Jamir, who was the chief guest for the closing ceremony, said the season as well as the occasion for the administration staff sports meet was auspicious and appropriate as it coincided with the 49th year celebration of Nagaland’s statehood. Expounding on the old adages “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” and “The Battle of Waterloo was won in the playing fields of Eton”, the chief guest opined that playing was the secret to staying young and keeping fit and that sports field was one arena where people felt young whatever his/her age, physical stature or complexion. Congratulating DC Wokha Vyasan R for initiating the first ever Wokha district administration staff sports meet, SP Wokha expressed hope that in future such meets, Wokha police department as well as other NGOs in the district would be also invited to participate.

Dimapur Municipal Council chief executive officer Orenthung Lotha, who was also a guest on the occasion, delivered a short speech.
Earlier, Wokha town Baptist church associate pastor Abemo Jungio offered invocation and SDO (C) Wokha Tiameren Chang proposed the vote of thanks at the closing ceremony function chaired by SDO (C) Wokha Nokchasashi.
