RAJOURI: In a commendable gesture to support local sports talent and as part of the ongoing 100 Day Nasha Mukht Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan, the District Administration Rajouri, under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner Abhishek Sharma, has extended financial assistance to a promising young boxer Yasir, who has recently been selected to represent India at an international boxing event in Uzbekistan.
