CHENNAI: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has given permission to open sports complexes and stadia for athletes to train with personal coaches. After weeks of waiting, cricketers are allowed to train at Chepauk. Select tennis players and fencers can also train at SDAT facilities. But the SDAT-MRC Stadium that houses facilities for hockey, tennis and volleyball remains closed. Members of the hockey fraternity are not happy that players are not able to train.
