Neeraj Chopra's France trip delayed

CHANDIGARH: Tokyo-bound Neeraj Chopra's much-awaited training-cum-competition trip to

has hit another roadblock as the

thrower is yet to receive an "authorization letter" issued by the French government to enter the country.


Chopra was to fly out to France earlier this week, after his visa was granted last Friday. However, with India currently being placed as one of the high-risk countries due to the devastating second wave of the Covid-19,
