‘Mafia Union’ plans to sabotage Vigilance Deptt in Southern Railway!

Interesting to note that Corrupt & Union nominee VIs, Arun Kumar & Varadarajan got GM Awards!

A very interesting Vigilance note got by the ‘Railway Samachar’ from reliable sources of Southern Railway. This so-called internal Vigilance note, circulated in between all Southern Railway employees, tells a very interesting story of affairs going on in the Vigilance Organization of Southern Railway. Read the full excerpts of the note-

“The ‘Parcel Porter’ owned ‘Mafia Union’ has re-established its complete grip over all the Southern Railway Administration.

The group of Mafia Union hooligans who were removed from service for attempting to assault a CCM has been brought back into service and posted to their station of choice by the Southern Railway Administration overlooking and ignoring Sr.DCM, Chennai.

What makes the Southern Railways’ depressingly different from rest of the country is the full surrender of its Administration and Head Quarters to the Mafia Union, which can clinch convenient posting of even divisional Branch officers apart from the staff.

The Mafia Union also happens to control the vigilance organization of Southern Railway through their corrupt crony vigilance inspectors (VIs) who are permitted to ingeniously continue in their posts by official manipulations, making a mockery of various guidelines on periodic transfers.

This allows the Mafia Union to earn money, trading in vigilance cases and intimidating inconvenient staff. Unfortunately, this can happen when an upright and fare officer is holding the post of SDGM, J. P. Pandey.

It is known from reliable sources that the earlier inept and corrupt SDGM, Mukundan, a notorious Union stooge, could still manipulate things in Southern Railway.

One of the Vigilance Inspectors, V. S. Arun Kumar had already completed his tenure of 6 years as Cheif Vigilance Inspector (CVI) and then manipulated to continue as Presenting Officer for 4 more years. The post of Presenting Officer was specially created to help him and is nonexistent in other Railways.

Now, after completing his 10th year, this Union nominee is very likely to continue as the Enquiry Inspector in place of Ananthasayanam for 4 years or till his retirement. CVI Arun Kumar is the Kingpin in the Mafia Union manipulations and is thoroughly corrupt personally.

The classical case which is common story among TTEs in Salem Division is that of one corrupt TTE, namely Katpadi Mohan of Coimbatore depot, who retired later, was caught red-handed with excess cash of Rs 6500 which included vigilance marked currency.

Mafia Union with the help of Arun Kumar as Presenting Officer and Sundareswaran as Enquiry Officer, made the case as NOT PROVED. The smart Sr.DCM of Salem, reading the writing on the wall and as an obedient officer, duly dropped the charges.

It is common knowledge that ‘Mafia Union, CVI Arun Kumar & Company’ amassed Rs 16 Lakh from the deal? The young and new inspired Vigilance Inspector who caught the TTE was harassed and made to leave the vigilance department by CVI Arun Kumar within a few months showing utmost sincerity to the illegal gratification earned.

Another CVI, V. Varadarajan, a close aide of Arun Kumar in corrupt dealings and complicit in having free lunches had also completed his tenure and is eyeing the post of Presenting Officer in place of Arun Kumar to have an uninterrupted tenure of 6+4 = 10 Years.

Arun Kumar, by being the new Enquiry Officer will now have 6+4+4=14 years at Vigilance uninterrupted.

In most of the Railways, there is no permanent post of Presenting Officer and in Southern Railway it is created for accommodating corrupt VIs. Such manipulators had helped in putting in cold storage many cases of Union leaders like Divisional Secretary of Salem Division, Govindan, and AGS at Trichy Division.

The story of CVI/Security, Chandrashekhar, and an ASI of RPF is more interesting. He has already completed 20 years in the Vigilance! He had an earlier long tenure as Vigilance watcher.

The recent ‘selection’ for CVI/Security was done violating all propriety. Only Chandrashekhar’s application was forwarded by CSC/RPF leaving the other eligible aspirants high and dry.

The highly experienced and barely literate Chandrashekhar had excellent connections even up to the Railway Board which was used for forwarding only his application.

In a farce of a selection test, befitting the Vigilance, Chandrashekhar was selected to be the CVI/Security from Watcher despite completing more than 20 years in the Vigilance department.

The post originally belonging to 4600 GP was downgraded to 4200 and Chandrashekhar belonging to 2800 GP was selected for it!

Things can only improve if the present SDGM takes action to implement periodical transfers and Mukundan is prevented from his evil design to serve the Mafia Union.”
