Sports Ministry Suspends Table Tennis Federation of India Over Governance Issues
The Sports Ministry has suspended recognition of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) due to governance deficiencies, including failure to conduct timely elections and an unsatisfactory response to a show-cause notice. The ministry has directed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), in consultation with the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), to form an ad-hoc committee to manage the sport until a proper governance structure is restored. Concerns also include athlete welfare and transparency in selection processes.
