New Delhi: The suspended Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) stated on Sunday that its delayed polls will take place on March 9. On February 4, the Sports Ministry suspended the body for failing to hold an election on schedule.
The four-year tenure of the PCI Executive Committee ended on January 31. The ministry even urged for the formation of an ad hoc panel to handle the sporting body's day-to-day operations, but the IPC, the game's global governing body, refused.
PCI president Deepa Malik and General Secretary Gursharan Singh issued the election notice in which they asked all the state-affiliated units to send the names of representatives, who would be eligible to vote in the polls, PTI reported.
The notice mentioned that elections will be conducted as per the guidelines of the National Sports Development Code and PCI by-laws.
The PCI will share the details of the Returning Officer separately.
PCI will elect one President, two Vice Presidents, one Secretary General, one treasurer, two joint secretaries and five Executive Members.
