The 2026 National Para Games, which began on March 26, has brought together para-athletes from across the country to compete in various sporting disciplines, including athletics, wheelchair basketball, para-powerlifting, and table tennis.
According to the NSC, the First Lady’s presence is expected to provide a fitting climax to what organisers have described as a highly successful and competitive tournament.
