Organised by the Maharashtra Kustigiri Sangh under the aegis of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), the championship was held from June 20 to 22.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The championship, which featured intense action across 30 weight categories, was conducted in three disciplines - Free Style, Greco Roman Style, and Women\u2019s Wrestling. On the opening day, bouts were held in 10 Free Style and 5 Women\u2019s Wrestling categories. Day 2 saw competition in 10 Greco Roman and the remaining 5 Women\u2019s Wrestling categories, drawing large crowds and showcasing emerging talent from across the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In a significant move towards ensuring fairness, the WFI enforced strict verification of age documents in line with its zero-tolerance policy against age fraud. As a result, more than 50 wrestlers from states including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Punjab were disqualified for being overage. The Federation's firm stance received widespread support from the wrestling community, further reinforcing the need for transparency in the sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A special highlight of the event was the doping awareness session conducted by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) prior to the commencement of the bouts. The session was well-received and proved highly educational for the young athletes, many of whom were competing at the national level for the first time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The event was inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis whose presence inspired hundreds of young wrestlers. Accompanied by dignitaries from the wrestling fraternity and local administration, the Chief Minister\u2019s attendance also reflected the state\u2019s commitment to supporting the sport at the grassroots level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
