Last week, petition by Rahul Mehra led Delhi HC to order stop to financial assistance to sports bodies that don’t adhere to national code. He blames successive governments for opacity.
Court hearing petition seeking compliance by national sports federations with 2014 Delhi HC judgment that declared the national sports code the law of the land for sports bodies.
Three sports federations have been brought under a court-appointed committee of administrators (COA) over the last five months due to alleged lapses in their functioning.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
