Narang has filed his nomination for the top post and will be up against incumbent president Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo in the December 4 elections in Mohali.

The nomination list was announced on Sunday. Pawan Kumar Singh is all set to become the secretary general with no other nominations received for the post. A former rifle shooter and coach, Pawan has been involved in NRAI administration and currently holds the position of joint secretary. Singh is also a member of the Judges Committee of the world body ISSF and has officiated in the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. As per the nomination list, a contest is on the cards for the treasurer's post as well, with Ashok Mittal and Meghasham Shripad Bhangle in fray.
