The Jammu and Kashmir Government has constituted an inquiry committee to look into the process followed for the selection of the J&K football team for the national competition, Santosh Trophy 2025.
Jammu witnessed a chain of protests against the selection of the Santosh Trophy football squad by the Sports Council, with protesters demanding the scrapping of the list.
Sports Minister Satish Sharma assured a time-bound and impartial enquiry into the team selection after the BJP alleged discrimination against the Jammu region and demanded his resignation.
According to a government order issued on Wednesday (December 17, 2025), sanction has been accorded to the constitution of a nine-member committee to ascertain facts in the matter in a time-bound manner.
The committee will be headed by Anuradha Gupta, director general, Youth Services and Sports.
