New Delhi [India], June 9 (ANI): The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) on Wednesday announced the fourth round of the Indian Grand Prix series, slated to begin on June 21 at NS-NIS Patiala.

Kolpakova International Competition in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) and the Qosanov Memorial in Almaty (Kazakhstan) to be held later this month in view of the changed quarantine rules in those countries, stated an official statement released by AFI.
The Athletics Federation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Athletics Federation of Kyrgyz Republic informed AFI via e-mails that new restrictive measures mandating 14-day isolation had been ordered for those arriving from India, regardless of a negative PCR test or even a vaccination certificate.
