Agartala, 13th October 2023: Former chairman of Tipra Motha, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, extended financial assistance and provided football, soccer shoes to Baslang Jamatia, a young footballer whose free kick during a football tournament created a sensation on the internet.
Pradyot who shared the video of Baslang’s free kick had assured to visit him and today he visited Killa, where Baslan resides, and met with his family. Speaking with reporters, Pradyot said, “I am a football lover and used to play football myself. I saw his free kick on Facebook. The Jamatia and Darlong communities have many talented individuals, and the Tiprasa people excel in football. So, I came here to motivate him and brought football equipment, boots, and also provided some financial aid. He also needs a good diet to stay physically fit as a player.
I did this on my own initiative, not on behalf of TTAADC or the state government. My father was also a football enthusiast. We should step forward to help people, leaving politics aside.”
