BJP MP Pushes for Sports Excellence Center in Uttarakhand
A politician named Anil Baluni from the BJP party wants to build a special sports training center in a town called Pauri in Uttarakhand.
This town has a stadium very high up in the mountains, which can help athletes train better because there is less oxygen.
The politician met with the sports minister and asked for a swimming pool and other facilities to be added to the stadium.
This can help Indian athletes do better in international sports events.
BJP MP Anil Baluni requested setting up a sports excellence center in Pauri, Uttarakhand.
Pauri has a stadium at 6,800 feet above sea level, the second highest in Asia.
Baluni proposed adding a swimming pool and other facilities to the stadium.
High altitude training can help build stamina and improve performance of athletes.
Indian athletes sometimes travel to Europe for high altitude training, and similar facilities in Uttarakhand can be beneficial.
