KATHMANDU:- Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has asked the National Sports Council to prepare for organizing the Nepal Premier League (NPL).
Inaugurating the National High Performance Centre and Sports Science Research Center at Satdobato in Lalitpur today, the PM directed the Council to work on organizing the NPL with a sense of team spirit.
With the Prime Minister’s directive to organize the NPL, the confusion surrounding the second edition of the NPL to be organized by the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has ended.
Likewise, the PM asked everyone not to involve politics in the sports sector.
Recalling his recent visit to a stadium in Madrid, Spain, the PM made an announcement to construct a stadium in Bhaktapur with the capacity to adjust 50,000 audience, as the capacity of the Dasharath Stadium was limited.
Similarly, PM Oli directed the Council to organize the National Sports Competition in coming November adding that frequent deferral of the event was an issue of national shame.
On the occasion, Minister for Youth and Sports Tejulal Chaudhary and Vice Chairman of National Sports Council Dhruba Acharya also talked about the sports activities taking place in the country.(RSS)
