For the event DYSS had selected J&K team in July-August last year after the Inter-school, interdivision competitions were held. The sleeted team members also attended a coaching camp for the same. However, the national competition was postponed twice by the hosts. Now the new dates have been announced and tournament is going to commence from April 18.

The players are ready as they have been preparing for the same event from past more than eight months now. The majority of the players in the team belong to Kashmir province while as there are couple of players from Jammu also. The players since learning about the new schedule have been continuously approaching DYSS offices but there is no final go ahead nod for the team yet.

“After two postponements our schedule for the event is finally out. The event is starting from April 18 and still there is no word about our participation from DYSS. We approached concerned persons but they are not giving clear cut answer,” players told Greater Kashmir.

“Some officials have told us that department has no funds to send the team. It will be grave injustice with us if we are not sent to Maharashtra,” they added.

The players and their parents said that they have also met the secretary sports council Waheed ur Rehman Parra. “He assured us all possible help but till date nothing has happened,” they added.

As per schedule we should be leaving for the event on April 14 in order to make it to Maharashtra in time. “We are ruining out of time,” they added.

An Official in DYSS Srinagar office said, “We are waiting for a nod from Directorate office.”

When contacted, Director General, DYSS, Sheikh Fayaz Ahmad said that the arrangements for the participation of J&K team would be finalized on Wednesday.

“The matter has been brought to my notice and I have asked my officials to work on this as there is very little time left for the team to leave. All the arrangements for the participation of these girls in national event would be finalized now on Wednesday,” he added.
