MHA allows sports complexes, stadia to open in Lockdown 4

New Delhi: Sports complexes were on Sunday permitted to open by the Ministry of Home Affairs in the fourth phase of the coronavirus-forced lockdown, possibly clearing the path for a resumption of the training of athletes which came to a halt in mid-March.

“Sports complexes and stadia will be permitted to open, however, spectators won’t be allowed,” read one of the guidelines to be followed during the lockdown, which was due to end on Monday but has been extended till May 31.

However, sport continues to be listed among the functions, gatherings and large congregations which are not allowed as of now. (AGENCIES)
