New Delhi, Jun 14 In a dramatic turn of events, the erstwhile Indian Hockey Federation and the newly-formed Hockey India today decided to bury the hatchet and joined hands to bring the state associations -- both men's and women's -- into HI's fold.
The erstwhile IHF decided to join hands with HI in its general body meeting here today and formed a six-member sub-committee to work out the modalities of the merger of the men's and women's units in the state level within 45 days time.
"We held a meeting of the IHF general house today with due notice to states and union territories. We have 28 states and five union territories under us of which majority attended the meeting.
"We've been having discussion with Hockey India for quite sometime and in today's meeting the main decision we took was to set up the modalities for the merger of the state associations," Gill told reporters.
"For this purpose we have formed a sub-committee. The main idea is to work out the modalities of the merger and smoothen the process. We have given the committee 45 days' time to complete it," he added.
The members of sub-committee includes Chander Sekhar from Chandigarh, Charanjit Singh (Delhi), Dinesh Reddy (Andhra Pradesh), RK Shetty (Karnataka), Pratap Satpatty (Orissa) and H Khiangte (Mizoram). (Agencies)
