SINCE December 24, 2023 when the sports ministry suspended newly-elected executive council of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), certificates issued by the federation have not been considered for recruitment purposes by the Indian Railways, one of the biggest employers of the athletes in the country.
Reiterating its policy, the Railways on January 10, 2025 issued a circular to general managers of all zonal railways and production and other units regarding the validity of certificates issued by the WFI. Citing the sports ministry's order, the circular once again made it clear that WFI's certificates will not be considered for recruitment and other establishment purposes.
