The morning fog and low visibility did not dampen the spirit of the participants and audience alike. With Hockey, Athletics, Racing Grey Hounds, Bullock cart races interspersed with Bhangra performances and Baazigar feats, the atmosphere was at its best.

The four-lane bullock cart race was a grand finale to the day's proceedings which included track events, hockey matches and freak circus events besides a mingling of Punjabi bhangra and Gidha.

Fastest boy (primary) of the meet was Fariyad Khan from Kila Raipur, in the 100 m dash. Noor Mohammed (Kila Raipur) and Karanjot Singh (Pakhowal) were 2^nd and 3^rd. The fastest girl in 100-metre under 19 was Manvir Kaur of Patiala finished ahead of Amandeep Kaur of Jallandhar and Poonam Mehta of Hoshiarpur. Under-19 boys in 100 m finished with Ranjit Singh (Hoshiarpur) leading Maninderdeep Singh of Jallandhar and Amritpal Singh of Jallandhar to chest the tape.

400 m girls U-19, Pushpa from Delhi eclipsed Sharanjit Kaur of Gurdaspur and Sandeep Kaur of Patiala to with the 1^st prize.

The sports extravaganza was inaugurated by Sharanjit Singh Dhillon, PWD Minister Punjab. He announced that all the approach roads to Kila Raipur will be renovated and reconditioned. He announced a grant of rupees two lakh for the Grewal Sports Association.
