Shimla: Popular WWE wrestler Dalip Singh
Rana alias `The Great Khalli` has agreed to become the brand
ambassador of the Special Olympics for physically and mentally
challenged children.
"He has agreed to become the brand ambassador of the
Special Olympics," Mallika Nadda, Chairperson of the Special
Olympic Bharat - Himachal Pradesh Chapter, said.
Formalities in this regard would be completed on Tuesday,

Nadda hoped presence of the famous wrestler would inspire
the physically and mentally challenged children and would also
add to the attraction of the quadrennial event - held both in
summer and winter.
