Before going to press when we got in touch with Subhash Goyal, President, IATO, he said, “I have filed my nomination for president. Since I have been travelling and haven’t seen the list, I don’t really know much about who all have filed their nominations. However, we can get a clear picture only after March 27 as March 26 is the last date for withdrawal of nominations.”
Lally Matthews, Honorary Secretary, IATO, too said that things will become clear only after March 26, “Many people have filed their nominations and right now, people have filled their names for 2- 3 posts, but we can get a better idea only after March 26. One thing is for sure that there will be no consensus and that there will be an election. I have also filed my nomination.”
