The players claimed that they were being served half-cooked food which was kept in the toilet due to shortage of space.

The Directorate of Sports had sought a reply from the district magistrate.

On September 16, the first day of the three-day sub-junior girls kabaddi competition, the players were served half-cooked rice for lunch. When the players raised questions, the cook picked up the rice and placed it in the toilet.

In the toilet, some ‘pooris’ were found lying on a piece of paper on the floor. Many players had to eat only vegetables and salad for lunch. IANS
