WFI elections likely to be held on August 7

New Delhi, 19/7: The much-awaited Wrestling Federation of India elections will be held on August 7 following a series of postponements.

The WFI elections were earlier scheduled to be conducted on July 11 but the Gauhati High Court had stayed the polls, following Assam Wrestling Association’s (AWA) plea seeking right to participate in the poll process.

 

The state association had claimed that it was entitled to be an affiliated member of the WFI with voting rights but it was denied recognition by the national federation despite its Executive Committee recommending the same on November 15, 20144
