The Punjab State Basketball Tournament began today at Kirpal Sagar and will continue till June 18.

School groups from different districts of Punjab are participating. The Chief of Police of Nawanshar, who was also a student of Kirpal Sagar Academy at that time, was invited as the guest of honour. In his beautiful speech where he emphasised the speciality of Kirpal Sagar, he told the students that he had sat here as a student in those days, as the students are sitting here today. He then said among other things that maybe one day they too will be able to speak here as a guest of honour, if they are successful in their lives. Kirpal Sagar gives them all the conditions for that.
