    SAI gives nod to restart training camps

    The SAI has given nod to resume various camps with strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The SOPs will ensure minimum risk of infection. As a part of safety protocols, the boxers will not be allowed to access the ring, spar or use any other equipment. The Boxing Federation of India (BFI) got permission to restart the camp after waiting for a month.
