The Indian shooting team has left for Paris to participate in the Paris Paralympics. A 10-member shooting team, including rifle shooters Avni Lekhara, Mona Agarwal and pistol shooter Manish Narwal, will challenge in the shooting events to be held in Sheterau near Paris from August 30.

Our aim is to surpass our previous performance and bring home more medals.
