Meanwhile, HCA secretary R. Vijayanand told this publication that as per the constitution, the Apex Council has to recommend the names and the Annual General Body has to ratify one of them.
The secretary confirmed that the next AGM is delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “Our president says that as per the government directive, a maximum of 100 members are permitted after September 21 (HCA has about 220 affiliated members). Azhar also felt that there are only two options either to conduct the AGM through Zoom or postpone it till we get further orders,” he said.
