India has put an unusual backup plan in place for its athletes competing in the upcoming Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Around 2,000 Indians living in the city have been prepared to offer their homes as temporary accommodation if official accommodations fail. The Indian embassy and community played a role in reaching out to residents.
This contingency plan was prompted by previous accommodation, accreditation, and transport issues faced by Indian athletes upon arrival in Japan. The chef de mission, Sahdev Yadav, informed that 30 to 35 athletes had been affected after their names were removed from the accommodation list, necessitating last-minute hotel arrangements.
Yadav emphasized that India now has a three-layer support system in place, including officials at the airport and athlete welcome center, as well as the 2,000 Indian residents ready to open their doors if needed.
