The Indian Railways in the current scenario is clearly missing proper representation of civil service officers at the decision-making level<\/p>\n
Senior officials of the South Western Railway have written to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal against the creation of a unified ‘Indian Railways Management Service’ (IRMS) in the current form, seeking more representation to officers from the civil services cadre.<\/p>\n
The proposed reform by the merger of all engineering and civil services cadres in the current form would be unable to achieve the desired results, they wrote in a letter, a copy of which has also been sent to the PMO.<\/p>\n
They said the merger of the services be carried out on the basis of the roles and skill sets.<\/p>\n
Raising concern over the “slow progress and visible clash of interests”, the officials have defined the roles and required skill set for the merger.<\/p>\n
They submitted that the entire matter be examined from the beginning by the Ministry of Railways, along with the cabinet secretary, and recommendations of all committees be taken into account.<\/p>\n
The Indian Railways in the current scenario is clearly missing proper representation of civil service officers at the decision-making level, they said.<\/p>\n
Only three out of 27 general managers are from the civil service cadre, which results in regular disputes amongst engineering departments, delayed project execution and misplaced organizational priorities, they added.<\/p>\n
The proposed merger of all cadres would further reduce the representation of civil services cadre, an official said.<\/p>\n
The officers have urged to the Minister for a separate seniority for administrative and engineering services and the creation of a post of Member HR in the Railway Board in place of the DG, HR.<\/p>\n
