Twitter[/caption] Internet Desk: After Australia, Argentina, Japan and so many countries India is also facing challenges to stay at the Rio Games village. The two hockey teams of India- men’s and women’s are in search of basic needs to compete better in the upcoming Games. The Indian hockey teams at the Olympics are facing a shortage of chairs and Television sets at the Games Village and chief coach Roelant Oltmans has complained that the players' apartments are not properly furnished. “For men and women we are using nine apartments so there is a lack of 28 proper chairs and for seven Apartments we need at least one table as well. In the staff apartments we've managed to bring in some tables," said Oltmans. Apart from the basic need of chair and tables the team had also lacking of television sets, which the director of Indian team wrote to Chef de Mission of the Indian contingent Rakesh Gupta. "Thank you very much to offer your TV to our team to be able to watch the hockey matches during the Olympic Games. I've tried to rent more TV's but unfortunately they are sold out in the Village. "I would like to get permission to purchase 3 TVs to be able to follow the hockey competition in both the staff rooms and at least in one of the male and female Apartments," the Dutchman wrote. However, Indian team was not so lucky like Australian team which got assistance immediately after notifying complaint. They hope that by Tuesday morning they will have the requirements fulfilled. More over Indians are more self-sufficient to get their requirements fulfilled by their own.
