Announcing a hefty sum of money for state level winners, totalling ₹6 crore, the chief minister added that the event would be an annual feature in the state’s sports calendar. “I am elated to see Punjab happy and the youth in the field of sports” Mann said, while adding that his government has been making all possible efforts to promote sports across the state and channelising the energy of youth in a positive manner.
