Moving forward step by step to organise Commonwealth Games: Gujarat govt
Gandhinagar, Aug 13 (PTI) The Gujarat government is moving forward step by step to organise the Commonwealth Games in 2030, Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Harsh Sanghavi said on Wednesday. He was addressing the media against the backdrop of a visit by officials from Commonwealth Sport, led by its Director of Games Darren Hall, last week. India had submitted an Expression of Interest (EoI) to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, with Ahmedabad selected as the host city. 'Last week, senior officials of the Commonwealth Games visited Gujarat. They visited different places mentioned in our proposal where various games can be played," Sanghvi said. The minister said the EoI follows several steps. 'There is a detailed procedure for it (bidding for Commonwealth Games). We are also going step by step for hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games," he said, adding that the bidding process will continue. A team from Commonwealth Sport (earlier known as Commonwealth Games Federation) landed in Ahmedabad last Tuesday. The team inspected the prospective venues and interacted with Gujarat government officials. The General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport will decide the host country in the last week of November in Glasgow. 'The host selection will be based on sustainability, athletic centre, flexibility in terms of regional appeal, there needs to be flexibility in terms of the host nations taken," Harpal Singh, IOA executive member and member of the Sports Committee of Commonwealth Sports, had said last month.

Congress workers protest against Centres onion export policy
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Nashik, Aug 13 (PTI) Congress activists demonstrated against the Union government's onion export policy on Wednesday and marched to the NAFED office in Nashik. Congress demanded a Rs 3,000 per quintal price for onions, open auction purchase of onions in Nashik district and the state and an inquiry into the purchase of onions directly from traders by NAFED. Former minister Balasaheb Thorat, who led the march, alleged that NAFED and other Central organisations are promoting corruption in onion purchase. 'Instead of purchasing onions from farmers, NAFED purchased the crop from traders who had stored it," he alleged and demanded an investigation. Thorat alleged that the Mahayuti government is securing the welfare of the rich. view comments First Published: August 13, 2025, 22:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
