Janakpur Bolts and Pokhara Avengers will not be limited to just competing when they take to the field for the NPL on Thursday. These two teams will play with the aim of delivering a social message.
Janakpur will take to the field against Pokhara wearing a pink jersey as a 'respect for mothers'. Pokhara will wear a green jersey carrying a message of climate change awareness.
All Janakpur players will have their mothers' names on the back of their jerseys. Janakpur players Lalit Rajbanshi and Bikash Agri recently lost their mothers. Janakpur General Manager Niroj Khatiwada said that the money collected from the auction of the jerseys they played against Pokhara will be donated to social work run by mothers.
Artist Nazir Hussain, through a video message, said that Janakpur's efforts to honor mothers who sell their dreams to raise their children are commendable. Kathmandu Gorkhaz's Prateek Shrestha and Sunny Patel are also playing in the NPL with their mothers' names on their jerseys.
Pokhara had also played last year by raising the issue of global warming by wearing 'Glacier Matters' on the front of their jerseys. Pokhara Avengers has taken this mission as a mission since its inception, and Janakpur has decided to transform grief into strength in honor of its mother, said Pokhara Chief Subodh Tripathi.
‘It was found that about 65 percent of the Hindu Kush Himalayan region melted from 2011 to 2020, and it is estimated that up to 85 percent of the snow will melt by the end of this century if we do nothing,’ said Tripathi. ‘Pokhara Avengers represents the Gandaki region. There is a long snow range in this region. We have launched this campaign to protect that mountain. It is also our responsibility.’
Nima Renji Sherpa, who has climbed 14 mountains above 8,000 meters, said that the continuous melting of glaciers is a matter of concern, stating that Nepal’s 5,000 mountains provide water to 1 billion people. He said that saving glaciers is the need of the hour.
