Railway Ministry puts on hold appointments to top posts
The HinduThe Railway Ministry has put on hold appointment of officers to fill vacancies at the highest level — Level 17 and 16. The Ministry had issued a notification on August 13, 2024, inviting applications from eligible officers of the 1989 and 1990 batch for empanelment to Level 16 and 17 posts of Indian Railway Management Service. One of the reasons for the withdrawal of the notification, the sources said, was simmering resentment among railway officers who entered service through Indian Engineering Services. Unified service Since there was often a turf war as these departments functioned independently, leading to issues relating to “departmentalism”, the Union government decided to introduce a unified service called the Indian Railway Management Service to promote smooth working of the railways and create a coherent vision for the organisation. Confusion prevails in the empanelment for appointment of Level 16 and 17 officers since those who entered the railways through CSE got expeditious promotions and were placed much higher than their batchmates who joined services through IES, a senior railway officer said.
