Tanwar will face Nurcihan Ekinci of Turkey in the women's K44-47kg round of 16 of Para taekwondo and might feature in the potential medal matches on the opening day. 

Para cyclist Jyoti Gaderiya will be in action in the women's C1-3 3000m individual pursuit qualification followed by the medal round on Thursday.
