"Aim was to encourage youth": SSP Arun Gupta on Khelo Ramban Cricket League conclusion
Ramban, January 5
District police concluded the 'Khelo Ramban Cricket League' under the CAP on Monday. After the event, SSP Arun Gupta said the Civic Action Programme was organised by the Government of India and the Home Department.
Arun Gupta further added that the CAP programme was launched under the direction of the Police headquarters to encourage youth.
"The civic action program is organised by the Government of India and the Home Department. This program was launched under the direction of the police headquarters, zonal and range police headquarters... The aim was to encourage the youth to showcase their talent," SSP Arun told reporters.
Earlier this month, CRPF's 84 Battalion inaugurated an open-air gym at its tactical headquarters in Chanderkot, Commandant Ranbir Singh said on Friday.
Speaking to ANI on the occasion, the Commandant said the facility was inaugurated on the first day of the year as a symbol of renewed energy and commitment. He recalled that the area sustained extensive flood damage in August last year, after which personnel from the 84th Battalion worked together to rebuild the premises.
CRPF 84 Battalion Commandant Ranbir Singh said, "...Today is the first day of the year, so to make a good start, we inaugurated an open-air gym at the tactical headquarters of the 84th Battalion here in Chanderkot. Last August, there was significant damage here due to the floods. The 84th Battalion team has rebuilt this site. The Chenab River is nearby, which provides a pleasant environment..."
"The team of the 84th Battalion has rebuilt this place after the devastation caused by floods. The Chenab River flows nearby, which provides a pleasant and refreshing environment," Ranbir Singh said.
The open-air gym has been set up to promote physical fitness and well-being among CRPF personnel. Officials said the initiative reflects the force's focus on morale, health and resilience, even in challenging terrain and conditions.

It's heartening to see positive news from Jammu & Kashmir. Sports can truly bridge gaps and build character. The open-air gym for CRPF personnel is also a great step for their health in that terrain.
Good effort, but I hope this is not just a one-time event for photo ops. Sustained engagement is key. The administration should ensure regular tournaments and proper infrastructure for local youth.
Rebuilding after the floods and now focusing on fitness and youth programs—this shows real resilience. The CRPF personnel deserve our respect for their service and now for building community ties.
Cricket league in Ramban! As a cricket fan, I love this. So much raw talent in small towns. Hope scouts were present. This is how future Dhoni or Kohli can be discovered. 🏏
Positive community policing. When forces engage with civilians in non-conflict settings, it builds crucial trust. The gym initiative for personnel's well-being is also a smart move for morale.
