Hockey India Issues Notice to Odisha Over Governance in Hockey Association
Hockey India has issued a show-cause notice to the Hockey Association of Odisha (HAO) over governance concerns, including the absence of elected representatives in district units, which are led by bureaucrats. The notice warns of downgrading Odisha's status from Permanent to Associate Member. The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) criticized the state government for neglecting hockey, citing a decline in the sport's quality despite Odisha's role as a national sponsor. Hockey India emphasized the need for democratic elections and independent governance in district units.
