Sports have brightened Bangladesh's image: Nasrul

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has said sports have brightened Bangladesh's image.

Sports can play a vital role in enhancing global connectivity, he added.

"Sports and cultural activities are doing a great job keeping young people creative and thoughtful," he said while speaking at the closing ceremony of the 5th Hamidur Rahman National Youth Shooting Championship 2022 organised by the Bangladesh Shooting Sport Federation and sponsored by Hamid Group in Dhaka on Sunday.

"Shooting has made good progress. Promising shooters can emerge if the shooting federation takes initiative to spread the game across the country instead of focusing on Dhaka," Nasrul added.

Around 105 contestants - 65 boys and 40 girls from 23 rifle and shooting clubs of the country - participated in the competition. BKSP Shooting Club became the champions and Comilla Rifle Club runner-ups, reports UNB.

Bangladesh Shooting Sport Federation President Lieutenant General Ataul Hakim Sarwar Hasan presided over the event and Bangladesh Olympic Association Secretary General Syed Shahed Reza and Bangladesh Shooting Sport Federation Secretary General Istekhabul Hamid spoke on the occasion.
