Following a reprimand from the Supreme Court, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has cleared Bilquis Mirs to travel to the Asian Games as an official representative.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has given its nod for Bilquis Mirs to accompany the state contingent to the upcoming Asian Games, designating her as an official. The clearance comes shortly after the Supreme Court issued a reprimand concerning the handling of the state's sports representation.
Bilquis Mirs, who has been involved with the state's sports administration, will now travel with the official delegation to the Games. Her role is expected to involve coordination and support for athletes, although specific duties have not been detailed.
The decision addresses concerns raised by the apex court about transparency and fairness in the selection of officials for major sporting events. By formally approving her trip, the J&K administration aims to demonstrate compliance with the court's directives while ensuring the state's athletes receive adequate administrative backing at the Games.
Stakeholders have welcomed the move as a step toward stabilising the state's sports management ahead of the continental competition, which is set to showcase athletes from across Asia.
