"According to the rules framed by All India Police games administration, a minimum of 10 teams are required for conducting the tournament. Till last date, we received only three entries, including the team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), PP (Punjab Police) and few girls of Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). Due to insufficient participants, even these players cannot take part in the competition", said one of the organisers. Further an official from the organisers said, "They will only participate in an exhibition-skill-race. And it will be conducted either tomorrow or on the closing day of the tournament. Though it's an irony, we need to follow the rules. Still we feel that higher authorities should take some steps and give these-girls a chance to win medals and bring laurels for their organisation". It was completely disheartening for the girls to have fallen into such a situation.
