Sports Board Punjab will organise Pakistan Dangal in March and much-delayed Punjab Games during the month of April along with University League, SBP director general Nadeem Sarwar announced. 

It may be mentioned here that Punjab Games were last held in 2011. The Government of Punjab, which in the past was the main donor of Punjab Games, has not extended any support to the Punjab Olympic Association for the last eight years to organise the Games.

SBP had sent a summary for the games estimating Rs30 million as its cost.

Nadeem also said that the recently-concluded training camps set up for seven different games in various cities proved very helpful in providing useful training to youngsters.

Similar camps would also be held after every three months across the province, he added.
