It goes to the credit of the FCKP North for inculcating positive and healthy habits among the youth. The FCKP has been organizing the sports festival in Mohmand since 2020.
The festival is being held in all the 8 Tehsils of the District in two different phases with an aim to promote sports culture, improve upon the community’s health and enhance social cohesion among the youths in the newly merged district.
