Mr Surender Singh, winner of the men’s half marathon too complained of having to put up in a dormitory, while international athletes were provided rooms in the five star hotel Hilton. “It is an open event and there are no ‘rights’ for the athletes here, still we go out of our way and try to accommodate some of the ‘elite athletes’ (with international acclaim),” said Mr Vivek B Singh, Joint Managing Director, Procam International, the organiser of the event. Mr Adille Sumariwalla, Chairman & Managing Director, Clear Channel Outdoor, said: “There seems to be a slip somewhere and we apologise for it, we were not made aware of the issue at all. ” More Stories on : Sports | Maharashtra
