29th August:- Members of the Chandigarh Press Club today participated
in a first-of-its-kind morning walk event here to commemorate the birth
anniversary of hockey legend Dhyan Chand.
More than 20 club members took part in the walk that was led
by club member and
veteran photojournalist Swadesh Talwar.
Club sports committee chairman Manmohan Singh said such
events helped members staying
fit.
Former UT joint director sports K.S. Bharti, who also
participated, complemented the club members for organising the walk.
Highlighting the club sports activities, club President Jaswant Singh
Rana said earlier table tennis, carom and
cricket tournaments were organised.
Earlier, the Chandigarh Press Club in association with the
Department of Forests participated in a three-km ‘greenathon’ in
May at the Sukhna Lake reserved
forests with the aim to keep the club journalists fit and think ‘green’.
Jaswant Singh Rana said that in our daily hectic routine, it’s
difficult to spare a time for self to keep fit. So
we have decided to organise a walking expedition, initially at a smaller stretch. He said the
Press Club would also launch a campaign to promote walking and cycling to
stay fit and reduce pollution
