Speaking on the occasion, CM Atishi said, “Shooting is an expensive sport, but financial constraints should not come in the way of talented athletes. That is why the Delhi Government has introduced this cutting-edge shooting range.

She added, “Our country has no shortage of talent, passion, or natural resources. If given the right guidance, no one can stop India from becoming the number one nation in the world.”
Highlighting the country’s track record in shooting, the AAP leader remarked, “Shooting is a sport where India has consistently performed well. Be it the recent bronze medals by Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh at the 2024 Paris Olympics, or the achievements of legends like Gagan Narang and Abhinav Bindra, shooting has brought pride to the nation. I am confident the next Olympic gold medalist will emerge from this range.”
“Sports training is often prohibitively expensive, and many talented individuals cannot afford it. This shooting range, along with the upcoming range at Kalkaji, ensures that no child with talent will be left behind due to financial constraints. The Delhi Government is committed to supporting young athletes, providing them the opportunity to win medals for the nation,” she added.
Some of the prominent features of the shooting range includes night firing capability with regular and focused lighting, automatic steel bullet trap system, target systems controlled through advanced software and equipped for training with various small arms among others.
