Mangalore, Sep 30: MLA JR Lobo inaugurated the first Mangalore Dasara Kabbadi Tournament organized by the Mangalore city corporation and Dakshina Kannada district Amateur Kabbadi Institution in Urwa market ground here on Tuesday September 30.

After inaugurating the tournament Lobo said, "Nowadays, Kabbadi tournament is getting familiar by attracting youths. It is giving good competition to the games like Cricket. Even in rural area, youths are attracted to Kabbadi”.

On this occasion MLC Ivan D' Souza felicitated former national Kabbadi player Rathnakar Puthran.

    Well done organisers. Continue with the good work and organise similar tournaments in other areas also so that the young boys and girls keep themselves busy with a healthy game to build up team spirit and friendship. Something like a inter village or inter city tournament can also be organised to create more excitement. Each team should be managed by one of the local leaders to avoid any kind of problems during the matches. Try it out and bring more harmony into our beautiful Mangalore.
