Three disappointed players returned to Arunachal including the missing player
Three women athletes from Arunachal Pradesh have returned to the state disappointed after not being able to travel to China to compete in the martial art sport of Wushu. They had prepared to go to China, but India objected to China giving them stapled visas, considering Arunachal as its territory, and did not send the three players to China. One of the three players, Mapung Langu, was out of touch for a few hours after not traveling to China, leaving her family worried. However, he relieved everyone by saying that he had reached the hostel of Sports Authority of India.
