Star sprinter from Assam Hima Das and some other athletes have complained about the quality of food being served to them at Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports (NS-NIS) in Punjab’s Patiala.
As per a report in TOI, Hima Das had complained about ‘human nails’ in her food as the Assamese sprinter took photographs of her meal and shared them to NIS administration.
Hima Das even have clicked photos and sensed it out to the NIS higher authorities.
SAI took up the matter and set up a ‘Food Inspection Committee’ to ensure the quality of food remains good.

Kiren Rijiju.
Rijiju shortly notified the SAI authorities to get in touch with the sprinter and stabilize the problem. SAI director-general, Sandip Pradhan, secretary SAI, Rohit Bhardwaj, and other officials held a virtual review meeting which was joined by Hima and other complaining players.
