Demand of cricket balls on rise as ‘Gully Cricket’ hit to streets in curfew bound Jammu

By Vishal Bharti
Jammu, Feb 20 (UNI) The demand of cricket balls is on rise in curfew hit this winter capital of the state as due to snapped mobile internet service, ‘gully cricket’ has hit the streets and youth instead of indulging into any “unwanted” activity remained busy in sports.
While the Jammu and Kashmir Government has laid focus on boosting sports to engage ‘misled’ youth of Kashmir and channelise their energies, the youth in Jammu is already more inclined towards sports and games and in view of snapped mobile internet service for almost a week in view of curfew imposed here when violence broke out during a daylong shutdown call given by the Chamber of Commerce and Industries to protest killing of CRPF men in Pulwama Terror attack, they loved hitting ‘boundaries’ and ‘sixes’.
