Sad SAF


The ninth SAF Games scheduled to be held between 6-15 October in the Pakistani capital Islamabad have been postponed indefinitely due to fears of imminent strikes in neighbouring Afghanistan by the US and its allies. Nepali athletes had for the past month been making use of the Rs 14.12 million allocated by the Nepal Sports Council to participate in closed training camps here and abroad. Binod Shanker Palikhe, member-secretary of the Council, has asked the disappointed athletes to keep training. The closed camps themselves started late, mainly because the NSC had been mired in controversy over the allocation of funds.
