Mahato, Dhital pull out

KATHMANDU: Swimmers Chandra Singh Mahato and Shreya Dhital have pulled out of the 11th South Asian Games. Armyman Mahato opted out stating personal reasons. "He told us his father was ill and he had to take care of him," informed assistant swimming coach Shankar Dhami. According to the coach, Shreya pulled out of the Games to concentrate on her studies. "Dhital was ready for the participation but when we decided for a lenghty training, she withdrew her name," said Dhami.
