Railways Sports Promotion Board secretary Prem Chand Lochab, recently elected as general secretary in Wrestling Federation of India, emphasizes rebuilding trust with wrestlers. Lochab, backed by protesting athletes, faces opposition from WFI supporting former president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Amidst differences, Lochab advocates prioritizing wrestlers' confidence in the federation after a year-long hiatus. WFI, currently suspended by the sports ministry, faces challenges with decisions made under new president Sanjay Singh. Lochab underscores adherence to rules and constitution, urging a transparent approach. Despite WFI's derecognition by UWW, Lochab outlines plans for grassroots strengthening, coach training, and future wrestling improvements.
