The new badminton court has been developed by the JMC with the aim of promoting sports and encouraging greater participation of youth in healthy and constructive activities. Located beneath the flyover opposite BSF School, the facility is expected to provide a convenient space for residents, particularly young people, to pursue badminton and other recreational activities.
