Wrestlers training at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) centre at Indore’s Malhar Ashram have been forced to clear rainwater from the facility before practice, as deteriorating infrastructure threatens training at the nearly two-decade-old centre.
The facility, where more than 80 wrestlers train, has been grappling with a leaking roof, damaged walls, poor toilets and the absence of changing rooms. Heavy rains this monsoon worsened conditions, with water collecting inside the akhada and disrupting training.
