Sports Ministry suspends TTFI over governance issues
In its order, the ministry cited TTFI's failure to conduct elections on time as one of the reasons for the suspension after getting an ‘unsatisfactory response’ to a show cause notice issued earlier.
On Wednesday, the Sports Ministry suspended its recognition of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) due to governance issues. The ministry directed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to form an ad-hoc committee to administer table tennis. The suspension was prompted by TTFI's failure to hold elections on time, following an unsatisfactory response to a show cause notice issued by the ministry.
The IOA, in consultation with the international Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), will establish an internal regulatory mechanism, including the creation of an ad-hoc committee, until TTFI restores a proper governance structure.
