Olympians Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat are set to leave for Kyrgystan and Hungary respectively for training with Sports Ministry approving their tours. The duo, who had sought time till August 10 to prepare for Asian Games and World Championship trials, had sent their proposals a few days back.
The wrestlers, who were at the forefront of the protest against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, are set to leave in the first week of July, a clear indication that they will not return to streets for protest, as they had announced on social media recently.
