The sports ministry on Monday gave its go-ahead to the resumption of training in all sports complexes and stadia with immediate effect after the government eased restrictions for the fourth phase of the lockdown.
Sports minister Kiren Rijiju said activities can now be conducted in all sports complexes and stadia, including those managed by private players, but only in accordance with the ministry of home affairs guidelines. “I’m happy to inform sportspersons and all concerned that sports activities will be conducted in sports complexes and stadia strictly in accordance with MHA guidelines and that of the States in which they are situated,” Rijiju tweeted. “However, use of gyms and swimming pools are still prohibited,” he added.
Sporting activities can resume in facilities and academies across the country, including those managed by private entities like TransStadia and JSW Group.
