NEW DELHI: Acting on the Himachal Pradesh High Court's order, the government has appointed Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) deputy director general in the Khelo India division, Mayank Srivastava, as an ‘independent observer’ to scrutinise the conduct of the much-delayed Boxing Federation of India (BFI) elections. World Boxing has also designated Japan boxing federation’s president Tatsuya Nakama as the global governing body’s observer for the forthcoming electoral proceedings, TOI has learnt.
Last week, in a single-page order by Himachal HC’s Justice Ajay Mohan Goel, the judge mandated the appointment of an independent observer by the sports ministry to conduct the elections expeditiously.
