New Delhi, Feb 6 (PTI) The wrestling ad-hoc committee has directed all state associations to send entries for the Under-20 and Under-15 National Championships in Gwalior later this month, failing which a three-member panel will short-list competitors from the erring states.<\/p>\n
The age-group nationals will be held from February 11-17.<\/p>\n
A source in the Indian Olympic Association-appointed committee told PTI that they faced issues with 2-3 state units regarding the submission of entries for the Senior Nationals held by the caretaker body in Jaipur from February 2-5.<\/p>\n
The newly-elected Wrestling Federation of India, headed by Sanjay Singh, has been suspended by the sports ministry for violating its own constitution and the ad-hoc body has been entrusted the task of conducting all the Nationals.<\/p>\n
A parallel ‘senior nationals’ were conducted by the suspended WFI in Pune from January 29-31, which the ministry termed as “unsanctioned” and warned of legal action against Sanjay Singh.<\/p>\n
“If no entry is received from a particular State Wrestling Association well within the given time, a three-member committee will send the entries for the participation of their concerned state,” the committee said in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The statement added that the Nationals being organised by the ad-hoc panel are the only sanctioned tournaments and medal winners can get all the government benefits only by competing in them.<\/p>\n
“National Championships for various age categories in wrestling, organised by the ad-hoc committee is the only sanctioned and recognised championship by the Sports Ministry. Participating players are eligible for all government benefits, national camps and further international participation,” added the statement.<\/p>\n
The source said the ad-hoc panel was forced to issue the statement.<\/p>\n
“There were 2-3 (state units) that did not send entries for senior nationals in Jaipur. Then, we got the entries done from those states through our coaches. They (2-3 state units) had sent wrestlers to Pune (in the ‘unsanctioned nationals’),” said the source.<\/p>\n
“We want to avoid a similar situation in the age-group nationals in Gwalior because of which the advisory has been issued,” he added.<\/p>\n
“This time there should be no confusion among competitors which tournament they should compete in,” he said.<\/p>\n
