Indian Boxers Face Luggage Issues Ahead of Commonwealth Games
Indian boxers traveling to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow faced problems.
Nearly half of their luggage, including important training gear and outfits for the opening ceremony, was left behind in Belfast.
This happened because the plane they took from Belfast to Glasgow was too small to carry all their bags.
The team is hoping the luggage arrives before the competition starts on Friday.
Additionally, the women's coach was not given a room in the same hotel as the boxers, which caused more issues.
This is the second time the team has faced such problems, as similar issues occurred when they traveled from Doha to Belfast earlier.
