If third wave hits, there is plan B for Khelo India Games: Sandeep Singh

Sandeep Singh has also talked about Khelo India Games scheduled to be held in Haryana this year and reacted to Sushil Kumar's arrest in the former junior national champion Sagar Dhankar murder case.

Ambala: Former India men's hockey team captain and current Haryana Sports Minister Sandeep Singh has issued a cheque of Rs 2 lakh to of 'Hamari Aastha Foundation', an organisation that has been providing food to COVID-19 affected people amid the pandemic.

The former drag-flicker has also talked about Khelo India Games scheduled to be held in Haryana this year and reacted to Sushil Kumar's arrest in the former junior national champion Sagar Dhankar murder case.

While speaking on the Khelo India Games, Singh said, "It will be inaugurated on 21 November, 2021. But right now the eye is on the Olympics, so in view of that, the pattern of future Khelo India will also be set in the same way."

However, he is cautious of the third wave which, he believes, will be harmful to children who are below 18, and it will cause havoc on Khelo India as the event is a U-18 show. So, "we are preparing plan B for the Khelo India Games," said Singh.
