The Athletics Federation of India cancelled the Indian Grand Prix hours before it was to begin today in view of the COVID 19 outbreak. The event was scheduled to be held at National Institute of Sports, Patiala.

Next month’s Federation Cup National Senior Championships scheduled from April 10th to 13th, a qualifying event for the Tokyo Olympics, has been postponed to a later date.

The development came after hours after the Sports Ministry advised all national federations to refrain from conducting competitions and selection trials till April 15 and ensure that Olympic-bound athletes are isolated from anyone who is not a part of their training camps.
