'The decision was taken at a meeting of the Administrative Council (AC) chaired by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha,' an official spokesman said.

'With this decision, the process for appointment of outstanding sportspersons will commence which has been entangled in various legal and procedural issues for the past few years,' he said.

'The new rules have been formulated with the view to motivate the young people for sports activities and also to encourage the outstanding sportspersons,' he added.
