KARACHI: The 13th South Asian Games slated to be held in Nepal in March 2019 are more likely to be postponed for a few months.
“I firmly believe that the Games will be postponed because Nepal is yet to make preparations and especially it has not made infrastructure ready for the biennial event,” a source who knows the situation confided to ‘The News’ on Thursday.
The Games are scheduled to be held in Kathmandu and Pokhara from March 9-18.
The source said that the situation would be made clear in the next few days. “You know the General Assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) is going to meet in Tokyo on November 28-29. It is expected that the South Asian Olympic Council would also hold its meeting on the sideline to decide about the fate of the region’s most vital competitions,” the source said.
