TTFI Suspends Secretary Amid Administrative Chaos
The Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) has suspended its secretary, Kamlesh Mehta, which has caused some confusion and problems in the organization.
Mehta was elected as part of a compromise in December 2022, but there have been ongoing disagreements within the federation.
Yatin Tipnis, who represents the Maharashtra State Association, has been nominated to take over the day-to-day running of the TTFI.
Mehta claims he has not been formally told about his suspension and believes it is due to political reasons.
The Delhi High Court had previously suspended the TTFI in 2022 due to similar issues, and a Committee of Administrators was appointed to manage the federation.
