UWW has communicated its decision to the sports ministry-appointed oversight committee, headed by legendary boxer M C Mary Kom, sources confirmed to TOI on Wednesday evening. There hasn't been any official communication from either the oversight committee or the UWW informing the same.The world body will soon be announcing a new host city for the continental meet where Indian wrestlers will be allowed to participate.
