A special general body meeting of Chhattisgarh Olympic Association (COA) was held at a private hotel on Wednesday as the existing body has surpassed its tenure.
In the meeting, the four-year-old body was dissolved, which was earlier having state’s former chief minister Raman Singh as its chairperson.
The Ad-hoc committee formed on this occasion passed a resolution to nominate Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel as a chairperson as a replacement for Raman.
The committee also decided to meet Baghel soon to urge him to give his consent for holding the post.
The ad-hoc committee was also empowered to decide about the new elections for the next four-year session i.e. 2020-24. The schedule for the elections would be out in a day of two, a senior office bearer informed.
The ad-hoc committee formed includes office bearers of various sports associations in the state. This includes Bashir Ahmed Khan, Gurcharan Singh Hora, Kailash Murarka, Sharad Shukla and Ajay Singh.
