Meghalaya Games has mother, daughter as participants

Shillong: In a remarkable display of familial inspiration, Marbarisha M Pdah (44) finds herself donning the shooting gear alongside her daughter Toiaibha M Pdah (24), both participating in senior women’s category in 10m and 50m rifle event and 10m and 25m pistol event respectively at the ongoing 5th Meghalaya Games in Tura, reports Manosh Das.

It all began when Marbarisha saw her daughter’s passion for shooting. Initially, she would always accompany her to championship events, supporting her and boosting her confidence. Witnessing her daughter excel at the State Games ignited a spark within Marbarisha and started a new chapter in her life.

“Watching Toiaibha pursue her passion with such dedication and skill lit a fire within me. I realised that it is never too late to follow your dreams,” Marbarisha said on the sidelines of the Meghalaya Games.
