"Following a request from our hockey teams for more chairs and TV sets, I had spoken and also written to the Organising Committee (OC) to do so," Gupta said.

"Now we have decided to put one TV set on each of the floors and also put additional chairs also. The equipment is expected to be placed in the apartments in the next few days. "I also asked about the cable connection and was told they would check if apartments can get it," Gupta said.
