Guwahati, Jul
y 5: Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi today said the state would soon have a sports policy of its own — a long-pending demand of the sports fraternity, as it helped the development of infrastructure and motivated the youths to adopt a professional attitude. Addressing the gathering during a felicitation ceremony of five veteran sportspersons by the Assam Olympic Association (AOA) during the Olympic Dacelebrations at Nehru Stadium here today, Gogoi said tapping talent in the rural sector would be the top priority of the policy.
Earlier, flagging off the mass jogging from the Bhangagarh flyover here, Gogoi, who is also the AOA president, said the association’s slogan of Gaonoloi Jaun Bola (Let’s march to the village) was still not yielding the desired output because of the lack of an organised approach.
