Tenth National Games Preparation Underway in Karnali Amidst Challenges
Summary
Karnali is racing to prepare for the Tenth National Sports Competition, set for Mangsir 16 to 27, while facing budget shortages, accommodation concerns, and unfinished event logistics. Officials say most events will be held inside the province, though some may be shifted to nearby districts and regions due to facility limits.
Key Points
- Karnali Province is preparing to host the Tenth National Sports Competition for the first time, with district and provincial selections already completed and closed training set to begin.
- The provincial government says it has allocated Rs 6.5 crore for the event, but officials admit the amount is insufficient and additional funding may be needed.
- Accommodation in Virendranagar is a major concern, with hotel entrepreneurs estimating they can manage around 5,000 people per day.
- Most events are expected to be held within Karnali, but some may take place in Nepalgunj and Bardiya because of infrastructure and technical constraints.
