President only

Captain Ajay Kumar Narang: IOA president PT Usha on Monday wrote a strongly-worded letter to the executive council members of the association, giving response to the “unjust termination letter to Captain Ajay Kumar Narang (Retd)”.

“I write with reference to the termination letter received by Captain Ajay Kumar Narang (Retd) via e-mail dated 04.03.2024 and termination letter dated 11.03.2024 (hereinafter referred to as “Termination Letters”) and the notice dated 02.04.2024 posted at various places at the IOA Bhawan (collectively called “Termination Documents”), the letter read, a copy of which is with IANS.

“It is disheartening to see that we are still not able to work as a team and each of your acts is an attempt to sideline me. It is brought to your notice that Captain Ajay Kumar Narang (Retd) was appointed as my Executive Assistant (“EA”) vide an appointment letter dated 07.06.2023 which was signed by me. As the President’s EA, Captain Ajay Kumar Narang (Retd) was to report to me alone and attend all correspondence/travel/appointments/ meetings etc., of the President, IOA. Thus, it naturally falls that his extension and/or termination would be based on my recommendation and not on the whims and fancies of anybody else, including the Executive Council who have absolutely no knowledge of the work done by him.”
