Indian Boxers' Luggage Missing Before CWG Opening
The Indian boxing team had a rough start to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Almost half of their luggage, including training gear and outfits for the opening ceremony, was left behind in Belfast because the plane was too small.
This happened before when they flew from Doha to Belfast.
The team is hoping the luggage arrives in time for the competition, which starts on Friday.
Also, the women's coach was not given a room in the same hotel as the boxers.
