The Indian Olympic Association on Monday dissolved the ad-hoc committee formed to govern wrestling in the country with immediate effect with certain conditions. The decision clears the way for the Sanjay Singh-led WFI to finally take charge of the sport almost three months after being elected.
The ad-hoc committee was formed on December 24, three days after elections to the Wrestling Federation of India that were declared to be in violation of the sports code and the federation suspended by the government.
The three-member ad hoc panel consisting of Bhupender Singh Bajwa, M.M. Somaya and Manjusha Kanwar had recently organised selection trials for the Asian Championships and Olympic qualifiers jointly with the WFI, with the latter providing technical support.
