Indian Boxers Arrive Without Gear Ahead of CWG 2026
The Indian boxing team arrived in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games 2026 without their luggage.
The bags, which contain important training equipment and outfits for the opening ceremony, were left behind because the plane they took from Belfast to Glasgow was too small.
This is not the first time this has happened, as a similar issue occurred earlier when they were traveling from Doha to Belfast.
The team is worried that this will affect their training and performance in the games, which start on Friday.
The women's coach is also not staying in the same hotel as the rest of the team, which could make it harder for them to work together.
Indian boxing team's luggage went missing on arrival in Glasgow for Commonwealth Games 2026.
The issue stemmed from the use of a smaller aircraft on the Belfast-to-Glasgow route.
Missing bags contain essential training equipment and ceremonial outfits.
This is not the first logistical hiccup; a similar incident occurred earlier when traveling from Doha to Belfast.
The team is anxiously awaiting the arrival of their belongings to ensure final preparations are not compromised.
