'Letters From PM Modi Before Olympics Boosted Our Morale', Says Equestrian Anush Agarwalla
He first met PM Modi after winning a medal at the 2018 Asian Games and had a memorable exchange with him. "Athletes received letters from PM Modi months before the Paris Olympics, encouraging us to reach out for any support needed, which boosted our morale," Anush said.
He also remembered the instance when players faced high temperatures in Paris during the Olympics, and the Indian government arranged air conditioners for them. "I even had a scheduling conflict with the bus service in the Olympic Village, and a car was specially provided for me by the Indian Olympic Association," mentioned Anush.
