New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI) The local organising committee of the FIFA U-17 World Cup today blamed the Sports Authority of India (SAI) for the water crisis during India’s opening match of the tournament in the capital.
India played their maiden World Cup game, against USA, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium last night.
The LOC said they will make adequate arrangement for providing water after more than 25000 schoolchildren suffered in the absence of water during the match.
The thirsty children, after braving the heat for hours and cheering their team for the entire first half, were forced to fight for as basic an amenity as water. (PTI)
