Sarusajai stadium complex

Assam Sports Minister Shrimati Nandita: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for a fitter India found strong resonance at a special edition of Sundays on Cycle held at the Sarusajai Stadium Complex here on Sunday, with leading Olympians and renowned sportspersons lending star power to the initiative. The event featured participation from two Olympians, a former world champion boxer, a prominent Indian women’s footballer, and a women’s Dronacharya boxing coach, all underscoring that physical and mental fitness remains irreplaceable.

The cycling event was flagged off early in the morning by Assam Sports Minister Shrimati Nandita Garlosa, with around 400 participants riding a six-kilometre route along NH-27 and around the Sarusajai Stadium, now renamed the Arjun Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex.

“Such (fitness) events championed by PM Modi and wholeheartedly promoted by Union sports minister Shri Mansukh Mandaviya are just appropriate to meet our dream of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. It’s good to see the youth of Assam coming forward on a Sunday morning and taking part in a cycling event. These are encouraging signs,” said Shrimati Garlosa.
