Long wait in immigration, not enough volunteers: IOA chief highlights concerns on arrival in Tokyo

Batra was informed of the inconveniences the athletes from other countries are facing.

IOA President Narinder Batra on Saturday highlighted fresh concerns that India's Olympic-bound athletes may face on arrival in Tokyo, including spending long hours in immigration without food and water. Batra was informed of the inconveniences the athletes from other countries are facing on landing in Tokyo by the Indian Chef De mission on Friday. He has raised the issue to the Games' organisers ahead of the Indian contingent's departure. "Important issues brought to my notice from Chef De Mission meeting on July 9. Same issue was highlighted in the meeting by different countries including Czech, those who arrived at Narita airport," Batra said in a statement.
