Itanagar: China has done it again. Just when it looked like that the Communist country has done away with its stapled visa regime, a team of karatekas from Arunachal Pradesh was not allowed to board a flight to Beijing at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Tuesday for not having regular visas.
The karatekas from the state include Likha Lej (52 kg cadet boys), Tage Saa (65 junior boys) and Rei Yadi (53 kg junior girls). The players were scheduled to represent India at the 11th Asian Karate-do Championship (junior and cadet) at Quanghou City in Fujjian province of China from July 20 to 25 next.
Earlier, the Chinese embassy in New Delhi, after a marathon discussion with the Indian authorities, had agreed to issue regular visas to the karate team.
