As the Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) has decided not to field its wrestlers, the championship, as reported by this daily, will not see participation from most of the country's elite wrestlers including the Paris Olympics bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat.

A similar situation arose last year when the WFI held the nationals in Pune while the ad-hoc panel, which was then running the day-to-day affairs of the federation, organised it in Jaipur with the RSPB being the hosts.
