New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the incoming contingent of the Indian Paralympics team which won a whopping 29 medals at the recently concluded Paris Paralympic Games 2024. This was the highest-ever medal tally for India at the Paralympics.
PM Modi gave his congratulatory wishes to the entire contingent in a 43-second video shared by the sports ministry. In the event, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) head Devendra Jhajharia were also present.
