Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia calls on the Sports Ministry to restart wrestling activities ahead of the Paris Games, expressing concern over the lack of seriousness in preparations. Wrestling faced disruptions due to internal issues, stemming from protests against former president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Despite a new committee, normalcy eludes the Wrestling Federation of India. Punia emphasizes the urgency, stating the upcoming Olympics require immediate attention. The plea comes amidst protests within the wrestling community, with Sakshi Malik retiring and Vinesh Phogat returning awards. Punia urges swift action to safeguard the future of players and uphold India's strong Olympic wrestling tradition.
