They may be yet to talk to them. The AIFF have a history of doing things like this. They will say they will do this with these people. The people then say they have no idea and then 2 days before AIFF notifies those people.

AIFF itself is upset with the way IMG-R hav kept mum. Even they havnt been communicated to. They are more frustrated coz all d blame falls on them. So lets nt blame them
