Sports minister Ajay Maken said yesterday that he has called Hockey India (HI) and Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) for a meeting on July 25 in a attempt to merge the two bodies and form a unified governing body for the national sport.

Maken said that if things don't work out by July 25, sports ministry would take a decision on its own and inform the Supreme Court about it.

"I will not wait beyond July 25. We have called for a meeting with HI and IHF on July 25. A decision would certainly come out by then," said Maken. "We are calling the two bodies to give it a last try on merger," he said.
