Sports Ministry Sets August 13 Deadline for Federations to Respond to Questionnaire on Sports Code

News 18  

The National Sports Federations got a two day extension from the Sports Ministry till August 13 to submit a set of Sports Code questionnaire pertaining to age and tenure after a request from the Indian Olympic Association. A detailed discussion took place on preparations for Olympics, sports code and all other issues concerning the NSFs were discussed,” IOA chief Batra and secretary general Mehta said in a joint statement. ”In case you have already submitted the required information and feel that you do not need to share anything more/additional, then you can simply inform the concerned in ministry that the required information has already been provided on ××× date.” The ministry had earlier asked the 57 National Sports Federations, which had their provisional recognition withdrawn on the instructions of the HC for violation of the National Sports Code’s age and tenure guidelines, to reply to the questionnaire by August 11. ”On the request of President & Secretary General the Hon’ble Union Sports Minister agreed to meet with an IOA delegation comprising of 10 to 12 members to take the discussions forward,” the statement said. ”Once again the discussions were discussed in a very positive atmosphere and full support will be provided for preparation for Olympics and running of all sporting activity.” The situation arose after the Delhi High Court had turned down the petition moved by the Sports Ministry seeking modification of its February 7 order which had barred the Centre and the IOA from taking any decision regarding the NSFs without informing it.
