Minister of Sports Sunil Kumara Gamage has temporarily suspended the registration of three National Sports Associations/Federations, Handball, Carrom, and Hockey, under Sections 32 and 33 of the Sports Law No. 25 of 1973, as amended.

According to the gazette, the decision was taken to ensure proper administration of the associations and to complete key processes, including amending their constitutions in line with the Sports Law and conducting elections to appoint new office bearers.

Effective from May 19, the Minister has appointed the Secretary to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports as the competent authority to oversee the affairs of the suspended federations. 

The Secretary has been vested with powers to carry out and administer the functions of the associations until new office bearers are duly elected at Annual General Meetings held under the amended constitutions. (Newswire)
