We are proud of our athletes who worked so hard and made all of us proud at the Tokyo Olympics. While the whole country hails our victory in the Olympics, here’s how PM Narendra Modi made it special for the contingents.
As promised, PM invited all the Indian Olympics contingent to the Red Fort as special guests for the Independence Day event on August 15. He also hosted a “Tea Party” for all the contingents at his residence.
