India federation suspended by FEI amid governance crisis | Reuters

BENGALURU, Oct 16 (Reuters) - The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) said on Friday it would suspend the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) from December 1, barring Indian riders and officials from ​international competitions amid a prolonged governance crisis.

The suspension also prevents India from ‌hosting FEI-sanctioned events and comes as the country seeks to establish itself as a major sporting destination while pursuing a bid for the 2036 Olympics.

An FEI spokesperson told Reuters that the EFI would not ​be allowed to attend or be represented at meetings of FEI bodies during ​the suspension.

"The situation will be reviewed once elections for the Executive Committee ⁠of the Equestrian Federation of India have been held and the results evaluated by ​the FEI," the spokesperson said.

EFI members would also be barred from international events organised by ​the FEI or other national federations, whether competing under the Indian federation's flag or the FEI flag, the spokesperson added.

Reuters has contacted the EFI for comment.

The suspension follows years of governance disputes within the ​EFI.

In February 2026, the Delhi High Court dissolved the federation's executive committee, whose elected ​tenure had expired in September 2023 but had continued in office under interim court orders to avoid ‌disruption ⁠ahead of the Paris Olympics.

The court directed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to appoint an ad-hoc committee to oversee the sport and conduct fresh elections under India's new National Sports Governance Act.

The court ruled there was no justification for an elected body whose term had ​expired to continue in ​office and ordered ⁠a transition to a new administration under a restructured constitution.

Those elections are yet to be held while uncertainty has continued under the ​ad-hoc committee.

Earlier this year, the Delhi High Court, while upholding a ​contested selection ⁠decision, flagged a lack of clarity in the ad-hoc committee's athlete selection process and stressed the need for greater transparency and consistency in future selections.

From December 1, Indian athletes, officials, trainers ⁠and horses ​will be barred from FEI-sanctioned competitions and events ​organised by other national federations.

The suspension further isolates a sport that delivered India a team dressage gold medal at ​the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023.

My mother has been in the ICU for the past 11 hours, and her MRI has still not been done. Even more concerning, no doctor has visited or assessed her during this time, as far as we have been informed.
As a family, we are already extremely worried about her health. When you admit your mother to a reputed hospital like Medanta, you expect timely medical attention, proper communication, and some accountability. Instead, we have been left waiting and worrying, without clear answers about the delay.

If you have any contacts in medanta patna home care particularly in neuro department please do contact me . Thanks

Hey all! I posted about my medication and mental health a few weeks ago, and got a bunch of questions regarding the side effects of the mentioned medications, so I decided to make this post to answer any questions you have regarding side effects, withdrawal symptoms, alternatives, and how I managed to successfully stop my meds and get back my will to live.

I'm 35, and have been on a bunch of medication for a good number of years for mental health concerns (OCD with psychosis, Schizophrenia, Bipolar, anxiety and depression, and Anorexia / Bulimia) I have been wrongly diagnosed by multiple doctors, been used as a test subject (lab rat) and was given the green light for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).

I am now off of my meds, and have pretty much gotten my life back on track. I am a psychologist now. I took up psychology to better understand my illnesses and to help out where I can.

Honestly, what kind of customer experience is this?
I returned 3 items through Nykaa Fashion. The delivery executive collected ALL THREE, with the original tags and return tag intact. Yet, I received a refund for only ONE item. The other two are marked “Return Unsuccessful,” even though they are no longer in my possession.
When I contacted customer support, I was told that the delivery executive may have taken the items and that a complaint had been raised.
Wait, WHAT? A customer hands over the items to your own delivery executive, and now the customer has to chase their money because the pickup may have gone wrong?
My items are gone, two refunds are stuck, and I’m left trying to figure out what happened. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Has anyone faced something similar with Nykaa Fashion? How did you get it resolved?
Worst experience ever. I just want my money back for the items that were collected.
