"I have seen the worst of time and the best as well. But right now, there is no federation for such a long time. There is nobody to look after us. Pressure is just too high," Sandhu said.
"We have Shiva and Vikas who are world medallists, Manoj is a Commonwealth Games champion.
"But we don’t have the support of representation in the technical conduct of events. Things have deteriorated post 2012 but I am still positive.
"Damage has been done but let’s hope for the best in future."
