New Delhi, April 28 : The Poland-bound national men and women's relay squads were grounded by the Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) on Wednesday due to rising Covid-19 cases in India.
The national men's 4x400m and women's 4x100 relay squads were supposed to compete in World Relays in the Polish city of Chorzow on May 1 and 2. They were to reach Chorzow via Amsterdam.
However, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) was informed by KLM that the Indian athletes can't board the flight to Amsterdam from Mumbai due to latest travel restrictions imposed on Indian travellers by the Netherlands government.
