New Delhi (India), July 10: In the heartland of India, where the sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati converge, lies Prayagraj – a city steeped in spirituality and heritage. It is here that the Sangam Challengers, representing this holy city, embark on a journey that blends tradition with modern sportsmanship in the inaugural Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League (UPKL).
