The letter, signed by SOA Secretary Ahmad Ali Rajput, explained that the decision was made due to several factors: the Meteorology Office warned of a high risk of heat stroke due to current weather conditions, posing a health risk to participants; many student athletes are currently taking important exams, and the games would disrupt their academic schedules; and parents and sports associations raised concerns about the safety and well-being of athletes in the current weather.
