The Sports Ministry on Tuesday revoked its suspension on the Wrestling Federation of India. The Ministry had suspended the WFI on December 24, 2023, for the hasty announcement of the U-15 and U-20 National Championships.
This paves the way for the organisation of domestic events and selecting national teams for international events. The WFI president Sanjay Singh's panel had won the elections on December 21, 2023, but the choice of venue for the National Championships in Nandini Nagar, Gonda, which is the stronghold of former WFI chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, had annoyed the center.
