The prize distribution ceremony was held at New Gymnasium in which PU Registrar Prof Dr Liaqat Ali participated as chief guest. Director Sports Shamsa Hashmi, Deputy Director Students Affairs Zubair Akram, officials and a large number of players were present on the occasion.
Addressing the ceremony, Dr Liaqat Ali said that sports activities were ignored in Punjab University in the past and the incumbent administration under the leadership of Vice Chancellor Dr Mujahid Kamran had taken special interest in promotion of sports activities on campus. That’s why, he said, PU students were taking top positions in sports competitions. Later, prizes were distributed among the winning teams.
