Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya meets Commonwealth Sport president, reaffirms India’s vision for CWG 2030

“Kabaddi, Mallakhamb, Kho-Kho, and Yoga are under consideration from among our indigenous sports. Two of them should make the cut,” Mandaviya told reporters during an interaction here.

The Minister also confirmed that cricket and hockey, which did not make the cut for the upcoming Glasgow edition this year, are certain to make a comeback in what is likely to be a 17-sport roster. The Glasgow Games are to feature only 10 disciplines and India’s core medal sports like shooting, wrestling, and badminton have been dropped to prevent the overall cost from ballooning.

“Both cricket and hockey will be there,” he asserted.

“Commonwealth Sport has gone back with a very good impression of India and its initiatives like the Khelo India Scheme, that crossed 60,000 athletes, representing over 30 states and Union Territories,” he said.

Athletics and para athletics, swimming and para swimming, table tennis and para table tennis, bowls and para bowls, weightlifting and para powerlifting, artistic gymnastics, netball and boxing are the confirmed disciplines for the 2030 CWG.

Two sports out of hockey, T20 cricket and rugby sevens are mandatory in the CWG.

Mandaviya had earlier said that plans are afoot to launch a nationwide campaign featuring iconic athletes and youth leaders to build momentum for the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad.

The Commonwealth Games will be back in the country for the first time in two decades. India hosted the event for the first and only time so far in 2010 in Delhi.

India won the hosting rights last year, beating competition from Nigeria.

The country is also in the running to become an Olympic host in 2036, again in Ahmedabad.

The Minister said detailed planning is currently underway across 23 ministries to ensure that the government is able to deliver a successful CWG in 2030.

“Similar coordination will be done if we get the 2036 Olympic Games. The central government will provide all the support that the host city would need but ultimately the identity of the Games is the host city and a majority of the work will be done by the local government,” he said.

the Western Edge, an independent investigative outlet covering the Pacific Northwest, the worker collapsed on the floor at the PDX9 warehouse and lay dead as employees continued to work around him.

“We’re deeply saddened by the passing of a member of our team, and our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with their loved ones during this difficult time,” Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson told TechCrunch. “We’ve been in touch with his family and have provided resources to support them. For employees at our PDX9 facility, we’ve provided onsite grief counselors and additional support. We’re thankful for the work of the Multnomah County Sherrif’s Department and local emergency medical services.”

On a Reddit forum for Amazon fulfillment center workers, several people claiming to work at PDX9 said that the building had been especially hot after soundproof curtains were installed, which limited airflow. They speculated that the heat could have contributed to the employee’s death, as it would compound the physical demands of fulfillment center work. According to the Western Edge, some employees noticed that the building was cooler when they returned to work the next day.

Amazon, however, said that Oregon’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) determined the incident to be non-work related. Employees were sent home early and were paid for the remainder of their shift; the night shift was cancelled, and employees scheduled to work were paid as well, according to the company.

The PDX9 warehouse has a reputation for having harsh working conditions; in 2018, an investigation from Reveal, an investigative journalism outlet, found that 26% of employees at the warehouse had sustained injuries. A report based on 2024 OSHA data showed that the company’s fulfillment centers report serious injuries at a rate more than two times the warehouse industry average.

Amazon’s fulfillment centers have been subject to several probes by federal agencies and prosecutors over warehouse safety, with investigators alleging that the company manipulated data and failed to properly document workplace injuries. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is conducting an ongoing investigation into workplace safety at Amazon warehouses.

Amazon told TechCrunch that the company has seen a 43% reduction in its global recordable incident rate since 2019 — a metric that tracks any work-related injury requiring more than basic first aid. The company said it has invested more than $2.5 billion in safety improvements since 2019, including hundreds of millions of dollars in 2026 alone.
