New Delhi: Union sports ministry has given permission to wrestlers to train abroad. Wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat go abroad for training. The players are training in Kyrgyzstan and Hungary. Both will leave in the first week of July. Bajrang Punia will have a 36-day training camp in Kyrgyzstan. Vinesh will start training first in Kyrgyzstan and then in Budapest, Hungary. The entire cost for this will be borne by the central government.
Vinesh Phogat will be accompanied by physiotherapist Ashwini Jeevan Patel, sparring partner Sangeeta Phogat and trainer Sudesh, while Bajrang Punia will be accompanied by trainer Sujeet Mann, physiotherapist Anuj Gupta, sparring partner Jitender and strength and conditioning expert Kasi Hasan.
Sports Minister Anurag Singh Thakur stated that an immediate decision was taken on the application submitted by both of them.

Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur’s assurance that action will be taken against Brij Bhushan ended the strike temporarily.
