Asian Games 2026: Miffed Sports Ministry to hold review meeting next week

India’s Asian Games campaign was salvaged in the last couple of days but the Sports Ministry has not taken kindly to the below-par show from several disciplines and athletes. Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya will hold a detailed, day-long review of India’s overall showing next week. India returned with 85 medals from Aichi-Nagoya including 21 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze — 21 less than the previous edition — but it’s the number of gold lost that is a matter of concern for the Minister and ministry officials.
