Speaking to ANI, Ram Kishan Bhaker said, “You can smell this gutter is here, and athletes are shooting in such an environment. It (shooting range) is very far from (Nagoya City)—you can say four to five hours every day spending for what? And top of that, bus timing. The travel time is four to five hours, and bus timings are also different. So Japan should not organise such big events.
