导出博客文章Senior bureaucrat Praveen Mahajan became the first woman president of the All
India Tennis Association (AITA), replacing Anil Khanna?on Thursday.Mahajan, a
former IRS officer, was appointed after the Executive Committee of AITA
unanimously chose her for the post until the election is conducted.Mahajan was
the first woman chief of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), the
apex policy-making body for indirect taxes, and is now posted in Jodhpur as an
administrative member of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).The Ministry
had asked Khanna to quit, arguing that his election as president in 2012 was
against the Sports Code that bars officials from re-election after serving two
consecutive terms of four years. A cooling off period of four years is required
before being eligible for the post again.After offering to quit, Khanna was
re-elected AITA president recently for a four-year term till 2020, but refused
to take it up until the issue was resolved. Eventually he decided to quit the
position.AITA then held an Executive Committee meeting and as per its
Constitution elevated Mahajan, one of the 10 vice presidents.AITA will hold a
Special General Meeting by March 31, 2017 to allow the members to elect the
president for the remaining period, ending in 2020.Apart from Mahajan, only two
other Vice Presidents, including Chintan Parikh (from Gujarat) and Aneil Mahajan
(from Madhya Pradesh), were eligible for the post of President as per the age
and tenure conditions of the Sports Code.Mahajans standing is much better and
much higher. Since she herself has worked with the government, she knows how to
deal with the government and no one can say we have chose someone from inside,
said Hironmoy Chatterjee, AITA Secretary General.

of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Heres a look at Saturdays NFL preseason games. (All
times EDT):VICTORS BACKGiants at Jets, 7:30 p.m.Victor Cruz has come full cycle
against the Jets.The undrafted free agent from nearby Paterson, New Jersey, made
the Giants as a free agent in 2010 in large part by catching six passes for 145
yards and three touchdowns in a preseason game against the Jets. By the
following season, he was one of the NFLs most dynamic receivers and would stay
that way for three years.A knee injury that limited him to six games in 2014 and
a calf injury that wiped out last season have put his roster spot in jeopardy.
The 29-year-old Cruz missed the first two preseason games with a groin injury
and will make his preseason debut in Week 3. Of course, the Jets are the
opponent.Its the story of my life, Cruz said. You cant write it any better than
this. This is the way my career has gone. Its the way my professional career has
gone. The Jets preseason game has always been some type of landmark situation
for me, so here we go again.Jets starters are expected to play at least the
first half. Geno Smith remains the No. 2 QB behind Ryan Fitzpatrick despite
Bryce Pettys solid performance -- 16 of 26 for 242 yards and two touchdowns --
in a loss to Washington last Friday night. Smith was 6 of 13 for 47 yards and an
interception.Running back Matt Forte (hamstring) could see his first game action
for the Jets, along with defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson, whos coming off a
broken leg suffered in the season finale against Buffalo.LIMPING ALONGKansas
City at Chicago, 1 p.m.Kansas City is banged up, and so is Chicago. Expect both
teams to be missing some prominent players.The Chiefs will be without several
starters and backups, among them pass rusher Tamba Hali (knee), running backs
Jamaal Charles (knee) and Charcandrick West (elbow), and linebacker Josh Mauga
(groin). Kansas City is taking a slow approach working Hali, who returned to
practice this week, and Charles back into the rotation.A major concern for the
Bears is right guard Kyle Long after the three-time Pro Bowl lineman hurt his
shoulder at New England last week. Coach John Fox isnt saying how much time Long
will miss. Veteran Ted Larsen, who had taken over for the injured Hroniss Grasu
at center, practiced at right guard this week, with Cornelius Edison at
center.HELPING HANDSPhiladelphia at Indianapolis, 7 p.m.The Colts are reaching
out to the people of Kokomo, Indiana, which was hit by an EF3 tornado on
Wednesday that had an estimated peak wind of 152 mph. The tornado traveled
nearly 5 miles on the citys south side, was about 300 yards wide and lasted 10
minutes.The NFL team is providing tickets and concession vouchers to Saturdays
game for the Kokomo High School football team, including their family members
and coaches. They will also be recognized on the field during pre-game
ceremonies.Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will play one half. The banged-up
secondary willl be without recently signed Antonio Cromartie.ddddddddddddagles
coach Doug Pederson plans to play his starters into the second half. Wide
receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will play with the first unit and see more action
in his second game since being acquired from Tennessee.FLAK ATTACKDetroit at
Baltimore, 7 p.m.Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will make his debut, playing
around a half. Its his first action since tearing the left ACL and MCL in a Nov.
22 win over the Rams. Linebacker Terrell Suggs could also make his 2016 debut
after tearing his Achilles tendon in last years opener.It would be great not to
get hit, said Flacco, who has not been hit since the injury. I dont need to get
hit. But if I do, it is not a bad thing.The Lions will take another close look
at seventh-round pick Dwayne Washington, who leads the team in rushing and has
returned a kickoff for a touchdown this preseason.HOLDING BACKTennessee at
Oakland, 8 p.m.The third exhibition game is often viewed as the final dress
rehearsal for the regular season, with starters getting their most extensive
time mixed with a little game planning. But with the Titans and Raiders set to
play again on Sept. 25, dont expect either to show too much.A little unorthodox
or unusual that you have a team that youre playing in the third preseason game
that youre going to turn around and play them early in the season like that,
Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said. We both understand what it is.The Titans should
get their first look at linebacker Kevin Dodd. The No. 33 overall pick did not
play last week in a loss to Carolina as he works his way into shape from surgery
in May on his right foot. Dodd had 12 sacks last season for Clemson, and
Tennessee is counting on him to provide much-needed depth at outside
linebacker.NOT NO. 1, YETLos Angeles at Denver, 9 p.m.No. 1 overall draft pick
Jared Goff of the Rams is slowly adjusting to NFL life. Goff has completed 12 of
21 passes for 120 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He has a 69.5
quarterback rating.Case Keenum has started the first two games and completed 10
of 12 for 111 yards and a TD. He has a 133 rating.If things continue, Keenum may
be No. 1 when the season starts.Rams defensive end Robert Quinn is expected to
make his debut after missing the final six weeks last season because of back
surgery.Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib (back) is expected to make his preseason
debut after missing the last two games. Outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware isnt
expected to play and defensive coordinator Wade Phillips may keep him on a play
count in the regular season.---AP Pro Football Writers Teresa M. Walker and Rob
