For Nanjing, the NRAI was keen on sending a few junior shooters, but couldn’t get the government’s green signal. “I don’t know the reason for not sanctioning the junior team,” said Sethi.

Team clearance apart, the NRAI is also facing a severe ammunition problem. “We don’t have good quality ammunition to shoot,” said national coach Sunny Thomas.
