Puri locals want wrestling hostel back in beach town
Puri's state-level wrestling hostel, shut down three years ago, shows no sign of return, replaced by a Kho Kho center. Wrestlers now train in local akhadas without professional guidance or equipment. Despite historical significance and pleas from stakeholders, the government's approach is criticized, risking the sport's tradition.
