year-old para-cyclist Lisha Das, India's only para-cyclist at the Commonwealth Games, wrote to IOA, CFI, PCI, and the Sports Ministry about support staff uncertainty.
Lisha is awaiting confirmation for personal coach Aditya Mehta's travel and accreditation; authorities proposed K Dattatraya as technician/coach despite her earlier rejection.
Female physiotherapist Dr Asha Shaikh's travel was cleared after repeated requests and court intervention.
Lisha stated she has been seeking clarity on participation and travel arrangements since May 15, causing 'immense emotional distress' ahead of the Games opening ceremony.
