The 2030 Commonwealth Games baton has officially been handed over to India, marking the beginning of preparations for the next edition of the Games in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

India is planning a larger, multi-sport event featuring 15 to 17 disciplines, significantly expanding on Glasgow's scaled-down edition. Two sports being strongly considered for inclusion are Yoga and Kabaddi, both deeply rooted in Indian heritage. Officials believe the 2030 Commonwealth Games could become a major milestone in India's sporting ambitions while also strengthening Ahmedabad's bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. The inclusion of Yoga and Kabaddi could provide both disciplines with unprecedented global exposure.

<p>In a horrific case of sheer negligence, young kabaddi players were served food kept in a toilet during a state-level U-16 tournament in India's Uttar Pradesh.&nbsp;The issue came to light after a video went viral on social media where players can be seen taking food from trays kept on a toilet floor at the Dr B R Ambedkar stadium in Saharanpur.</p>

<p>As per reports, the incident took place on September 16 when hundreds of junior kabaddi players arrived at the stadium for the sub-junior championship. The arrangements for the players' stay and their food were made at the stadium. However, the players complained of unhygienic and sub-standard meals.</p>

<p>In the video which has gone viral, players can be seen taking rice and puris (Indian fried flat bread) from utensils kept inside a toilet. Some of them alleged the rice was raw and undercooked while others also complained of having to wait for hours in long queues for the 'sub-standard' food.</p>
