College, Bar assn felicitate para cricketer Amir Hussain

Ludhiana, September 1

Amir Hussain Lone, a para cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir, was honoured at a function held at the District Courts, Bar Room, on Saturday. The function was organised jointly by Aryans Group of Colleges and the Ludhiana Bar Association to acknowledge his remarkable dedication to the sport of cricket despite the challenges, which he had to face since 2013.

Lone, captain of the J&K Para cricket team, lost his arm in 1997 in an accident at the age of 8. However, that did not stop him from pursuing his passion for cricket. He developed a unique style of playing, using his legs and feet to bat, bowl and field.

The ‘special’ cricketer, Lone, who was appointed brand ambassador by the Aryans Group of Colleges, was felicitated by the groups’ chairman, Dr Anshu Kataria, and the president of the Ludhiana Bar Association, Chetan Verma, in the presence of other dignitaries.

The felicitation function began with lighting the ceremonial lamp by Lone. Lone also released a booklet at the event. Kataria said Amir has had an inspiring life because of which he was being facilitated. Kataria said Amir had played in various major tournaments, including the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL).

Kataria said, “This felicitation is a testament to Amir’s hardwork and dedication to the sport. He continues to inspire millions not only in India but also across the globe with his remarkable story.”

Lone thanked the Aryans Group of Colleges and the Ludhiana Bar Association for the honour. He said, “Believe in yourself and your abilities, and keep moving forward with a positive frame of mind. If you do that, you will overcome all obstacles and achieve your goals.”
