Leaders from Jammu and Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) honored the champions of the 7th Rollball World Cup in a ceremony held at the BJP Headquarters in Jammu. This event celebrated the growing prominence of Rollball, an indoor sport that uniquely combines roller skating, basketball, and handball.
Event Highlights
Sat Sharma CA, President of BJP Jammu and Kashmir and Rajya Sabha MP, along with BJP J&K Vice President Priya Sethi, and leaders Anita Gandotra and Sunita Sareen, felicitated the world cup winners. The ceremony recognized the exceptional performance of teams and individual players who competed in the fast-growing sport on the global stage.

Additionally, local sports authorities aim to improve training programs and infrastructure to nurture emerging talent at the grassroots level.
