TIL Desk Sports/ Union Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju, on Sunday, said the country should be ready to host some of the sporting events in a couple of months and the government wants not just the top but all athletes to resume training as soon as possible.
The Sports Authority of India has already drawn up the Standard Operating Procedure regarding resuming sporting activities. “I want the sporting activity to begin as soon as possible. I’m hoping that in next couple of months’ time we should be ready with at least some of the events,” Rijiju said during an Instagram chat with Indian table tennis star Manika Batra.
But Rijiju said their main priority remains health and safety of the athletes. “Keeping that in mind, I’m very much in support of creating a better atmosphere to start the sporting events as soon as possible. This pandemic has created a big obstacle for us.”
