Cuttack, Jul 13 (UNI) Even Cyclone Fani that hit the coastal Odisha in May could not dampen the spirits of the organizers of the 21st Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships, beginning next week at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here.
The devastating damages it had left behind notwithstanding, the state government and the Odisha State Table Tennis Association, the joint hosts, have left no stone unturned to make the championships memorable and successful.
The proof of it can be seen in the Nehru Stadium—it has gone through a complete makeover in record time—and the enthusiasm surrounding the conduct of yet another international event in Odisha, the new sports hub of the country.
