Jabbarer Boli Khela from today
The 109th edition of the historical Jabbarer Boli Khela, a traditional wrestling tournament, will begin today at the Laldighi field in Dhaka.
Approximately 100 professional and amateur wrestlers from across the country registered for the competition, informed the convener of the organising committee and president of the wrestling committee Jahar Lal Hazari, adding that the event gets underway at 3:00pm.
Like every year a three-day Boishakhi fair, centring the tournament, kicked off yesterday but Jahar feels that due to a lack of proper support the competition is losing its charm.
This tournament was founded in 1909 by Abdul Jabbar Shawdagar with an aim to motivate and groom locals physically.
Tk 20,000 will be awarded to winner of this competition while the runners-up will receive Tk 10,000.
