NEW DELHI: After the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), yet another sports federation — the Volleyball Federation of India (VFI) — has been placed under the ad-hoc body’s rule by the sports ministry due to perpetual infighting, proxy voting and absence of an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) to address grievances related to sexual harassment. The VFI is under suspension since December 2019.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has been requested to form a transitory or ad-hoc body to conduct elections to the VFI’s executive committee (EC) within 45 days of its formation and “also to manage its affairs, including the selection of athletes and making of entries for the participation of sportspersons in international events for the interim period”.
