Great initiative by CM Dhami! Sports really do bring communities together. The Rs 5 lakh grant will definitely help nurture local talent. Let's hope to see more such tournaments across Uttarakhand! 🏏

While I appreciate the sports initiative, I wish there was more focus on women's cricket too. Uttarakhand has so many talented female players who deserve equal opportunities and recognition.

Saw the CM playing shots - not bad for a politician! 😄 Good to see leaders promoting sports personally rather than just giving speeches. Hope this inspires more youth to take up cricket.

103 medals in National Games is impressive! Shows what proper investment in sports can achieve. My nephew is part of the state's badminton team and the facilities have improved significantly in recent years.

The Fit India Movement mention felt a bit forced - this should have been purely about celebrating local sports achievements. Otherwise a good event highlighting Uttarakhand's sporting potential.
