New Delhi: The Railway Board has prematurely retired five Group ‘A’ officers in public interest under Rule 1802(a) of the Indian Railway Establishment Code (IREC), Volume II, which corresponds to Rule 56(j) of the Fundamental Rules (FR 56(j)).
The action was taken on the recommendations of the Railway Board’s Review Committees after examining the service records of the officers.
Those retired include two Senior Administrative Grade (SAG) officers of the Indian Railway Health Service (IRHS), one Junior Administrative Grade (JAG) officer of the Indian Railway Service of Engineers (IRSE) in Northern Railway, one officer of the Indian Railway Service of Electrical Engineers (IRSEE) in Northern Railway, and one Junior Administrative Grade (JAG) officer of the Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS) in Western Railway.
The Ministry of Railways said the Review Committees examined the officers’ Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs), integrity records, vigilance inputs, disciplinary history and other relevant service records.
The committees unanimously recommended their premature retirement in public interest.
The Ministry said Indian Railways follows a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, lack of integrity and inefficiency. It said integrity, discipline and accountability in public service remain non-negotiable. Action under the relevant provisions of the Indian Railway Establishment Code is aimed at maintaining these standards.
