RANCHI: As a “precautionary measure” against coronavirus, the Jharkhand sports department has taken non-vegetarian food off the platter served to budding athletes at all public-funded day-boarding and residential centres across the state with immediate effect.

“As replacement for nutrition supplement, we have directed respective centres to increase servings of milk, fruits and add a few more veggies in lunch and dinner menus,” said Uma Jaiswal, coordinator of the state sports department.
