As many as 200 teams from across the country participated in the competition.

The organisers, Syed Zeeshan Ali Naqvi and Federal Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, said that the purpose of holding the competition was to honour the armed forces for giving a befitting reply to the arch-rival India during the recent military confrontation.
