ARLIER this month, a Greco-Roman wrestler from Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB), who was representing Rajasthan in the senior national championships in Bengaluru, got a few calls after he won the first bout. He was instructed to pull out of the tournament as the RSPB has not given him a no-objection certificate (NOC) to compete in the championships.
A few Railway wrestlers though represented their home states and even won medals but a majority of them were deprived of the nationals organised by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) for the second straight year.
The same was the case last year as well. Repercussions for non-participation, however, could be more this time as in 2023 two nationals were organised - one by the WFI and other by the ad-hoc committee.

Market mechanism debate: Article 6 key to emissions reduction
The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, concluded amid widespread disappointment and criticism. Though considered a failed COP, one part of the compromise deal was the operationalisation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. This article establishes a framework for international cooperation to achieve climate goals through market and non-market mechanisms, facilitating emissions reductions via three pathways: Article 6.2 (nations trading surplus reductions as Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs)); Article 6.4 (a UN-regulated global carbon market); and Article 6.8 (non-market approaches like technology transfer and capacity building). These mechanisms aim to enhance climate finance, foster collaboration, and ensure accountability in emissions reductions. However, a key question remains: Can market mechanisms deliver the deep emissions reductions required?
