The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has apparently directed the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) to hold the elections without delay. This after the sports ministry had pulled up the EFI for series of governance issues. The federation is headed by acting president Jagat Singh while Jaiveer Singh is the secretary general and the house is divided. The FEI has advised the EFI to democratically elect the executive committee and that will ensure smooth governance of the federations. The EFI EC should form a committee to amend the constitution and fully comply with the National Sports Governance Act.
