The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has been directed by the Union Sports Ministry to establish an Ad-Hoc committee to oversee the operations of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). This move comes amidst concerns raised by WFI chief Sanjay Singh about the impact on the future of children. The suspension of WFI presents an opportunity to address accountability and deliver justice across federations, as highlighted in an editorial from TOI.
