Amid hot and humid conditions in Paris, the Sports Ministry provided India athletes with 40 air conditioners to ensure they have a comfortable stay at the Olympic Village.
While taking into consideration the issues faced by India athletes at the Olympic Village due to the temperature and humidity in Paris, the Ministry of Sports discussed with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the French Embassy. After the discussion, it was decided to provide 40 ACs in the games’ village rooms where the Indian athletes are staying.
The decision was taken early on Friday. The cost is being funded by the Sports Ministry. The ACs are plug-and-play units, and athletes have already started using the ACs.
