Olympic silver medallist, Vijay Kumar, appreciated the effort of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) and its affiliate, Sprotzcraft, on the inauguration of the second modular 10-metre shooting range at the Guru Harkrishan Public School, Punjabi Bagh, on Friday.

“'It is a great platform for youngsters to take up shooting and help them realise their dreams,” said Vijay Kumar, the rapid fire specialist, who had also won the air pistol bronze medal in the last Asian Games in Guangzhou.

The Minister of Urban Development and Revenue of Delhi, Arvinder Singh Lovely, who was the chief guest at the inauguration, lauded the effort and hoped that such a venture by the school would help discover a lot of medal winners.

The President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, Paramjit Singh Sarna, assured that GHPS would support the sport.
