Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Bhopal is all set to host the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup 2023. The opening ceremony will begin at 5:30 pm on Tuesday.  

Speaking to PTI, Tournament director and Vice President of National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), VK Dhall lauded the infrastructure of MP State Shooting academy, where the matches will be held. "The city has excellent, world-class infrastructure."

However, he pointed out "poor air connectivity" is the biggest drawback of Bhopal. "Bhopal has poor air-connectivity-- both domestic and International. This is one of the reasons why a lot of shooters couldn't participate," said the NRAI Vice President.
