Nirmal received the guard of honour from CRPF personnel and and paid floral tributes to the fallen jawans. Mr. Nirmal said the CRPF, established in 1939, gradually grew into an elite combat force of the country. For the past several decades, it remained a formidable force against Left-wing extremism. As part of the celebration, volleyball and other sports and games were organised for the personnel, and prizes were distributed to the winners. Later, the soldiers took part in the Bada Khana event.
Sumit Nagal attained the 77th place in ATP rankings. As per the established criteria, the top 56 players, both in men’s and women’s rankings, will attain automatic qualification for the Olympics but no more than four per country can make the cut for the Games, a rule which allows lower ranked players to sneak into the draw.
