In a city shorn of night life and quality sporting hubs, a famous heritage school in Srinagar has come forward to lay a synthetic turf at its campus for soccer buffs.The good thing is that the turf is not restricted to just its own students but free for all. It provides a way for young enterprising players who want to take soccer as a career, can pay, practice, and perfect their skills.“We have installed floodlight and kids can avail the facility in the evening hours too when they are done with school, colleges and tuition,” said Farid Singh, who set up the facility with his younger brother Viraj.
The duo decided to lay the astro turf at a corner of the Woodlands high school that their father runs.
