Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the National Games Organising Committee (NGOC) have established a safeguarding telephone helpline as part of a focused initiative to promote safety and well-being as well as to prevent and address adverse incidents during the Uttarakhand National Games.

IOA president PT Usha said the helpline will be available to athletes, coaches, and officials around the clock. "This is part of our initiative to prevent harassment, abuse, and other forms of interpersonal violence in sports. We have also formed a safeguarding committee that will work to prevent safeguarding issues and look into any complaints that may arise," she said.

"This reflects IOA and NGOC's commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment, ensuring athletes, coaches, and support staff have confidential resources to report and resolve issues effectively. While safeguarding measures are in place for all participants, the committee will place special emphasis on supporting women athletes, coaches, and officials," she added.
