Calling for a detailed inquiry into the incident, Goindi said: “There’s a strict protocol about shooting as when archers go to collect the arrows there is a ceasefire. Only when they return to their respective marking line, the next round of shooting begins. But I don’t understand how this has happened.
Goindi said that these kind of mishap would not happen again.
“All the coaches are accountable, I will conduct a thorough inquiry to ascertain whether there’s a lapse from us. I will ensure that such mishaps don’t happen again,” Goindi said.

“It appears to be a lapse from the coaching staff as after one set of shooting a ceasefire is declared when the archers go to their respective targets.”
A promising recurve archer, Fazila was inducted as one of the 23 SAI trainees after a trial and district competition earlier in July.
She was training to prepare for the Inter-SAI tournament to be held here next month.
