Visakhapatnam: Selfie point inaugurated at Railway Sports Enclave

Visakhapatnam: As a part of the nationwide campaign, 'Cheer4India' campaign was launched to extend support to the Indian athletes who have qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, 2021.

Initiated jointly by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and Indian Olympics Association (IOA), Waltair Division of the East Coast Railway, the campaign aims at encouraging and boosting the morale of the sportspersons of our country who are participating in the Olympics.
