The Story in Brief
Hockey India Secretary General Bholanath Singh has asked president Dilip Tirkey to convene an urgent Executive Board meeting, saying it is the only forum competent to resolve the organisation’s governance issues. Singh also asked Director General Cdr R.K. Srivastava to investigate how an internal email reached the media.
The Hindu reports that Srivastava did not provide documentary evidence, despite Tirkey’s reminder, for the decision to change Hockey India’s jersey colour. Singh said the jersey matter should be discussed only at an Executive Board meeting. The latest exchange adds to the public dispute within the national federation.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that one email proves a complete institutional collapse, while the opposite claim would treat the dispute as routine administration. Neither is supported yet. The immediate test is simple: whether Hockey India convenes the requested board meeting and produces the documents behind the jersey decision. Until then, public accusations about leaks or authority remain weaker than a recorded board resolution and a clear paper trail.
