what is the whole matter
The matter is of Saharanpur, where the Under-17 state level Girls Kabaddi competition was organized from 16 to 18 September, in which about 300 players took part. During the tournament, there was a ruckus over the food served to the players. Actually, the food was prepared and kept in the toilet in a big vessel and the players were seen coming to the toilet and taking out the food themselves.
I request CM @myogiadityanath ji to look into this matter .. Thanks Shikar 👍 https://t.co/RxeaZ8uBlg

Pooris were placed on the floor of the toilet by laying paper. After the matter escalated, the sports officer of Saharanpur Animesh Saxena has been suspended. After the video went viral, Saxena had termed these allegations as rubbish. He had said that the food was prepared near the swimming pool. He was kept there because it was raining. Due to the work going on, there was no space anywhere else in the stadium.
