Budgam: Amid heavy snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir over the last few days, several girls from far-flung areas were seen practising martial arts in capped grounds of Beerwah area of Budgam district. Despite the heavy snowfall, the girls from a sports academy were seen practising different art forms barefooted in the snow.
"We don't want to stop. We want to continue with our practice barring all odds," said Ayesha Zuhoor, a student of the sports academy. "We want to progress and take the name of our country forward. We don't have the facility for indoor practice, but still, we want to continue and become an Olympic player," she said.
Speaking about the steps being taught, she said, "Here we are taught steps for our self-defence. I want to request all girls to play this game as it will keep them away from drug addiction."
