This stipulation should invariably be incorporated in the offer of appointment. 2.

On completion of the two year probation, the performance of the sportsperson will be reviewed at the zonal Railway level by a Committee comprising President and Hony.

For review of cases involving sportsmen recruited in intermediate grades, with Boards approval, one nominee of the Railways Sports Control Board, will also be associated with the aforesaid Committee. 5. Board desire that the above instructions may be noted for strict compliance. Sd/- (P.L.N. Sarma) Deputy Director, Establishment (N), Railway Board
