J&K: 11-year-old Kashmiri girl bags gold medal at National Sqay Championship
Sky is the limit in everything and Kashmiri girls are proving it by giving their best in various fields including sports. Falak Mumtaz, a 11-year-old, from a far flung area in Shopian of South Kashmir bagged a gold medal in National Sqay Championship.
Falak Mumtaz achieved the gold medal in National Sqay Championship that was played last week in Jammu fighting against all odds. Belonging to a poor family, she didn’t have proper facilities to get education. But that didn’t stop her from achieving her dream.
The love towards Sqay made her win gold medal. Falak is a talented and ambitious girl studying in sixth class at Aisha Ali Academy in Kulgam. Her long term ambition is to become an IAS Officer to serve the people of the valley.
“Falak is a talented girl and we are very happy about her performance but we appeal to the government to help her. So that in future she will play more and show her talent on international level,” said her relative. (TOI)
