The inauguration ceremony of the newly renovated playfield of Kabo Leikai Development Association (KDA), Heirok part–III where a LED floodlight got installed, was held on Saturday.
MLA of Heirok assembly constituency, Thokchom Radheshyam, who attended the inaugural event as chief guest, inaugurated the playfield and handed it over to the public.
Speaking on the occasion, Radheshyam said that in order to achieve a well-developed and progressive community, it is imperative that every member of the locality or village is healthy and free of diseases. Highlighting the importance of physical fitness and the need for physical activity, sports or play in maintaining a healthy body, he expressed the hope that the newly renovated playfield will inspire local population to take up sporting activities which will help them in remaining physically fit.
Radheshyam further urged the public to ignore their political affiliations when it comes to development projects and activities.
