New Delhi, Feb 26 (UNI) Union Sports Minister Col Rajyavardhan Rathore on Monday said that the Ministry is trying every possible way to reinstate 'Shooting' in the Commonwealth Games (CWG).
Speaking on the sidelines of an IOA event, the minister, who had himself bagged silver for India in shooting at the 2004 Athens Olympics, said that efforts are on to reinstate the discipline in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Notably, Shooting will be a part of the upcoming Gold Coast CWG but has been axed from the 2022 Birmingham CWG.
Replying to a query by UNI on the issue, Rathore said,"The Ministry has written to the CWG Federation and urged to reinstate 'Shooting' in the games. Shooting has been a part of the Commonwealth Games from a long time and should be further too."
