New Delhi: Terming it an act of "administrative overreach", the Bihar Olympic Association (BOA) has sent a legal notice to Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha over the appointment of a single-member fact-finding commission to probe the governance structure of some states including Bihar.

Acting on alleged complaints about governance and election irregularities in several state Olympic associations, the IOA chief had through an office order appointed an external panel each on December 2 for Telangana, Bihar, and Rajasthan respectively.

Hemanta Kumar Kalita, secretary general of the Boxing Federation of India, was named as the fact-finding commissioner for Bihar. By December 10, he was expected to deliver his conclusions, observations, and suggestions to the president of the IOA.

The commission was tasked with reviewing governance processes and election procedures.  (IANS)
