NCC training camp concludes

Chandigarh, Sep 27 (UNI) The 12-day sports adventure-cum-watermanship training camp for Naval NCC Cadets, which began on September 16, concluded at Sukhna Lake here today.

During the gruelling training sessions, about 40 cadets, including 18 girls, were trained for sailing water, cadet class boats, kayaking and boat pulling.

The cadets were also imparted training in navigation, visual communication methods like semaphore and flashing apart from regular parade and firing. This camp serves as preparatory camp for North Zone NCC Nausainik Camp scheduled to start on the third of next month at Air Force Station High Ground.

The highlight of the camp was a unique Anti Drugs rally of boats organised along the promenade of the Sukhna Lake. Led by a 27-foot whaler sails and row of boats carrying placards on drug abuse, the cadets performed a street play on the boats imploring the youth to wean away from drugs and take up adventure sports.

The camp was held under the supervision of Captain D P Singh, who is the Commanding Officer of the No 2 Punjab Naval NCC Unit at Amritsar.
