NRI Sabha Punjab Faces Leadership Crisis
The NRI Sabha Punjab, a group that helps people from Punjab living abroad, is in trouble because its leader's term ended, but new elections haven't been announced.
This means the group isn't working well, and people are upset.
Some members even went to court to ask for elections, but nothing has happened yet.
The group was started to help people from Punjab living abroad, but now it's not doing its job because of the delay.
People want the government to announce the elections soon so the group can start working again.
The NRI Sabha Punjab's president's term ended on January 4, but elections have not been announced.
Members allege constitutional violations and administrative paralysis due to the delay.
The election process must begin 90 days before the term ends, but no schedule has been issued.
A petition was filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking directions to initiate elections.
Members demand immediate election announcement to restore the body's functionality and credibility.
