The Chennai Rifle Club, situated in
the Old Commissionerate compound Egmore,
has been successfully
conducting the students training programme.
The club
functions under the stewardship of the Commissioner of Police, Thiru.
Mahesh Kumar Agarwal IPS, who’s the President of the club, and Vice
President Thiru. Amalraj IPS, Addl. Commissioner of Police.
Honorary
Secretary of the club, Rajsekar Pandian said that this programme is a
boon to the students of Chennai, who have an avid interest to learn the
shooting sport and excel but did not have access to it. The idea behind
the Students Programme is to break the notion that this sport is not
available to general public. This programme aims to make the sport
accessible and viable for the students of Chennai city.
Honorary
Joint secretary, M.Gopinath said that the student membership is
available on pre-booking basis and general category membership is also
open at the club for residents of Chennai.
Interest shown by youngsters has considerably increased after the club's exceptional performance at the recently concluded 46th State Shooting Championship Competition, in which the student members of the club, came up with outstanding performances breaking previous the records and Actor Mr. Ajith kumar won six medals in various category of pistol matches.
It
may be recalled that the Chennai rifle club students' programme was
inaugurated by former Commissioner of Police Thiru. A.K. Vishwanathan
IPS the then President and Thiru. D.V. Seetharama Rao, General
Secretary, National Rifle Association.
Now the South Zone
Shooting Championship Competitions in Rifle and Pistol events are being
held at the Tamilnadu Special Police, Battalion-3 shooting range at
