New Delhi, Jan 30 (PTI) The absence of basic facilities in a “brand new” hotel, where the table tennis technical officials are being put up, has come to light on day one of the competition in the fifth Khelo India Youth Games, in Indore.

The competition officials were shocked to find out that the hotel they were being accommodated in was inaugurated on the day of their arrival on January 28.

“The company (a leading travel company) who is responsible for booking the hotel for the officials was probably not aware the facility was not yet ready for use. Some of the rooms have no chairs and tables while the others have no mirrors.

“Most of the officials are 50 plus and are having a hard time staying in the hotel. Two female staff decided to stay in competition venue after seeing the state of affairs in the hotel,” a source told
