The Yachting Association of India (YAI) strongly objects to the publication of false reports in the media spread by a few people with vested interests and malafide intentions. The matter is subjudice and while refraining from commenting on the matter, the YAI strongly condemns attempts to tarnish its image and spread incorrect news and facts.
