His words, “I am a sports man to the core and for me to commission the sports complex, I am happy because as a military man you are supposed to be fit and of course the situation of the country and our position demands that we should be physically fit to deliver on our mandate.
“The multi-purpose sports complex will help the men of the Base to be physically fit. Eastern Naval Command remains the champion of the last NN games and this sports complex will help us to maintain our fitness and retain our position at the games.
“This is a place for us to train and be physically fit.”
