Roller Skating Row Splits Chandigarh Association: Two Camps Clash
The Chandigarh Roller Skating Association (CRSA) finds itself embroiled in a bitter leadership tussle, fracturing the organisation into two opposing factions. One group, having conducted elections on an unspecified date, installed Maninderjit Singh Sidhu as the new president.
Meanwhile, a rival faction, spearheaded by Arun Walia and Harpreet Singh, recently held a felicitation ceremony for the city’s talented skaters. Both groups insist their actions are legitimate, creating confusion and uncertainty within the association.
The core of the dispute appears to centre around the timing and validity of the elections that elevated Mr. Sidhu. The opposing faction questions the process and the legality of the newly formed committee.
This internal conflict casts a shadow over the future of roller skating in Chandigarh. The uncertainty surrounding the leadership threatens to disrupt training schedules, participation in upcoming tournaments, and the overall development of the sport. The matter highlights the urgent need for transparent and clearly defined election processes within sports associations to prevent such damaging divisions.
