Odisha Gymnastics Association Apologizes for Using Late President's Name on LetterheadPreviousNext

The Odisha Gymnastics Association (OGA) apologized for using the late president Samir Dey's name on official letterheads for invoices related to the recently concluded 2026 National Gymnastics Championships. Secretary Ashok Kumar Sahoo described this as an unintentional oversight due to delays in printing new stationery. A complaint has questioned how OGA secured nearly Rs 98 lakh in state funding while documents still listed Dey as president. The current committee plans to dissolve by August for fresh elections.
