BAHAWALPUR: Nadir Magsi of Sindh, already winning the title for four consecutive years, emerged champion of the 10th Cholistan jeep rally 2015 at the crumbling Derar Fort in Cholistan, about 70kms from here on Sunday.

According to unofficial results, in category A, Nadir Magsi covered the distance of 220 kilometers in 2 hours and 20 minutes.

He was followed by Sindh’s Asad Khuro, who covered the distance in 2 hours and 28 minutes. Qasim Saeedi, who crossed the final line in 2 hours and 48 minutes, was placed in third position.

In category C, Khan Muhammad, Mukesh Chawala and Dr Noorullah Qamar were adjudged first, second and third, respectively.

The organizers introduced the ladies category for the first time and, according to unofficial reports, Tushna Patel and Sadia Nadeem won first and second positions, respectively.

The rally was participated in by about 100 drivers, navigators and owners.

According to participants, tourists and visitors, the jeep rally marred the mismanagement and disorder.

The organizers did not invite the media persons from national and local newspapers, who faced difficulties in the discharge of their duties and the collection of rally details and results.

The journalists protested with officials of the Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab (TDCP), who had camped here for several days.
