Sub: Appointment on compassionate grounds – Smt. Sursati widow Late Shri Sunder Lal Ex. Substitute Gangman, Firozepur Division.
Late Shri Sunder Lal Ex. Substitute Gangman, Firozepur Division died on 11.08.1985 on account of Accident on duty. His widow Smt. Sursati represented to the Division for her engagement as Substitute Water women on compassionate grounds. The deceased left behind one minor daughter besides his widow. The said widow was called by the Division for appearing before the Selection Committee who have found her suitable for the post of Substitute Water Woman and the Divisional Railway Manager has also approved the appointment as Substitute Water Woman.
In terms of Board’s extant rules, received under their letter No.E(NG)II/84/CL/28, dated 04.05.1984 only the engagement of ward of such causal labourers/ substitute is permissible and there is nothing about the widow. Keeping in view the straitened circumstances of the deceased family, the case has been recommended for the engagement of the above-named in Class IV category on compassionate grounds.
Railway Board is requested to kindly accord their approval for the engagement of Smt. Sursati widow late Shri Sunder Lal as Substitute Wa¬ter Woman on Firozepur Division, as a special case. A general relaxation in this regard for widows may also be given.
This has the approval of the General Manager.
