Chaturvedi’s response highlights the importance of acknowledging and addressing the concerns of athletes who are demanding better safety measures and facilities. It also emphasizes the need for collaboration and working together to create a safer and more supportive environment for athletes to train and compete in.
Overall, Chaturvedi’s response echoes the sentiments expressed by many athletes and activists who are calling for greater accountability and support for athletes, particularly women athletes, in India’s sports ecosystem.
