The 92 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) paid rich tributes to hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand by organizing a three-day Inter-Company Volleyball Tournament from August 29 to 31.

Winners and runners-up were felicitated with trophies and certificates. The Commandant further stressed that sports remain central to CRPF’s efforts in promoting fitness, stress management, and camaraderie, while also motivating local youth towards a healthy and positive lifestyle.
