“As a result of this, I have to face many obstacles in my training and I undergo mental harassment. My coach Sandhya Gurung is currently outside the Commonwealth Games village as a result of which my training stopped eight days ahead of the event. My second coach has been sent back to India. This has happened despite my requests which has led to mental harassment for me. I don’t know how to focus at Commonwealth Games. My performance at last World Championships was also affected because of the same reason. I don’t want to spoil my performance at CWG 2022 due to this politics. I hope I would be able to rise above this politics and win a medal for my country,” reviewed her tweet. .
