Warm welcome by fellow shooters, cold shoulder from Telangana govt.

Young shooting talent Dhanush Srikanth, who bagged two gold medals in the recently-concluded Deaflympics in Brazil, was accorded a warm welcome by the officials of the Gun For Glory Academy, parents and well-wishers on his arrival at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on Wednesday.

After having won the individual men’s 10m air rifle gold, he bagged another gold partnering Priyesha Deshmukh in the 10m air rifle mixed team event.

The 19-year-old, hearing-impaired shooter also competes in regular events and is a trainee since 2016 at the Gun For Glory Academy set up by London Olympics bronze medallist and multiple World Cup medallist Gagan Narang.
