The Indian Sports Ministry has suspended the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) for failing to conduct elections within the mandated timeframe. PCI's decision to schedule elections for March 28, nearly two months after the previous committee's term ended, violated constitutional guidelines and the Sports Code. The Ministry deemed PCI's actions intentional and without valid reason, undermining democratic processes. To safeguard para-sportspersons' interests, the Sports Authority of India will collaborate with the International Paralympic Committee to form an Ad Hoc Committee. The move aims to ensure transparent and democratic governance in Indian para-sports.
