The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Tuesday convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the 2025-26 term at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here, where key resolutions on governance, financial matters and institutional appointments were taken up and approved by the members.
Among the key highlights of the meeting was the appointment of Justice M.M. Kumar, former Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir High Court, as the Association’s Ombudsman and Ethics Officer through a special resolution. The AGM also cleared four routine agenda items with an overwhelming majority, among them the adoption of the audited accounts for the 2025 financial year and the reappointment of the Association’s Chartered Accountants, along with other statutory matters.

DDCA President Rohan Jaitley underscored the significance of the AGM in ensuring institutional accountability.
“The Annual General Meeting is central to the democratic functioning and governance framework of the DDCA. The decisions taken today, including the appointment of the Ombudsman-cum-Ethics Officer, reflect our commitment to transparency, accountability, and robust institutional processes,” he said.
In a gesture of appreciation, the DDCA also handed over 20 motorcycles to the Delhi Police, Central District, acknowledging their continued support in maintaining security and facilitating smooth conduct of cricket matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The formal transfer of the vehicles took place later in the day.
Expressing gratitude to the police force, Jaitley said, “The successful conduct of major cricketing events in Delhi is made possible through close coordination with the Delhi Police. Their professionalism and timely assistance are vital to maintaining safety and order during match days. This initiative is a small token of our appreciation and a step towards strengthening operational efficiency on the ground.”
The motorcycles were received on behalf of the Delhi Police by Rishi Kumar Singh, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central District, who noted that the additional vehicles would aid mobility and enhance law-and-order management during sporting events as well as routine policing duties.
The AGM and the handover ceremony were attended by DDCA Vice President Shikha Kumar, Secretary Ashok Sharma, Treasurer Harish Singla, Joint Secretary Amit Grover and other members of the Apex Council, who thanked the Association’s members for their participation and continued support.
