JAMMU: The Jammu & Kashmir Border Area Development Conference (JK-BADC), a registered organisation working for the welfare of border residents and tribal communities of J&K, has expressed serious concern over sports bodies in J&K that are functioning without recognition from the J&K Sports Council and the harm this is causing to players and sportspersons.
Dr. Shazad Ahmed Malik, Chairman BADC and former Vice Chancellor, said that a number of sports associations in J&K are holding selection trials, issuing certificates and sending teams to state, inter-state and national competitions without holding elections or getting formal recognition from the J&K Sports Council. He said this is putting the careers of young players at serious risk.
The BADC chairman said these certificates issued by unrecognized bodies are not more than a piece of paper , without approval, recognization by the J & K sports council. Dr Shazad gave the example of a swimming association in J&K which as of today either does not have recognition from the J&K Sports Council or whose recognition has been withheld. Despite this the association is holding player trials and taking swimmers to a national level event.
He said the J&K Sports Council and the Secretary Sports Department should look into the matter without delay. The former VC also asked players and parents to check whether a sports body is properly recognised before joining it or paying any fees.
