It is with great pleasure that we can announce that, following a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication of our young leader and brother Janaab Abdullah Yusuf Kamthi, the 3D images of the full facilities at the sporting venue for Greater Tankaria area are now ready.

According to the information available, a committee will be formed to oversee the venue and its activities. The committee will comprise of individuals with various skill sets and will be from each part of Tankaria as well as neighbouring villages.

This is not just good news for Tankaria, but all the surrounding villages too. This investment is likely to bring the best out of our rich sporting culture and traditions, as well as tremendous economic benefits to area.

We make dua to Allah (SWT) that this dream of ours comes true and we all unite behind such a marvellous project, which not only benefits our current generation but many generations to come.

May Allah (SWT) rest her in peace and grant her Jannat-ul-Firdaush. Ameen.

It is good to see that grandson of Tankaria, brother Imtiyaz Amin (right in black coat), has filed his candidacy on behalf of the Conservative Party in the Batley constituency for the upcoming United Kingdom elections. Participation and presentation in local and national politics is a very healthy sign of democracy. We hope candidates debate on local and national issues. Wish them all good luck.

Two recent achievements by teens of our community are worthy of being noticed and celebrated. One in the education field and the other in sport. Faiz Khan, son of famous Dr Khan of Bharuch, was part of a university team who designed a 350gm drone (the future of aviation, logistics amd security) which carries up to 1kg of weight and is controlled remotely. Not just that, they were given an opportunity to showcase their work in Florida, USA. The country that invented the drone was all over this design and technology and awarded it first prize amongst contestants from 93 countries!

The other success story is of Adil Shaikh, also from Bharuch, who has been invited and selected to play for the Indian Premier League (IPL) team. Rajashthan Royals. The IPL is one of the world’s biggest sporting gathering and attracts international cricketers from all over the world. Its an adrenaline filled and highly competitive tournament whose audience count is more than half a billion per game!

We are very proud to have teens progressing at such a high stage and hope as well as pray that our community continues to nurture and provide a platform to talents like Faiz and Adil. We congratulate their parents, teachers, communities and all those who guided them along the way.
