RBE No. 79/2020: CORE – Filling up of Posts

No.E(NG)I-2014/TR/17, dated 08.09.2020

Sub:     Filling up of posts in ongoing electrification projects undertaken by CORE.

1.     Attention is invited to Board’s letter of even number dated 05.10.2017 (RBE No. 143/2017), wherein it was clearly stated that filling up of vacancies of CORE projects shall primary be the responsibility of the Zonal Railway in whose territorial jurisdiction the electrification project is being undertaken. The concerned General Managers and Divisional Railway Managers should tie up with the concerned Heads of RE projects to ensure posting of sufficient number of staff in a manner similar to that for construction projects. It was also stipulated therein that the Zonal Railways concerned need not ask for option or willingness from any staff and arranged to post the technical/ non-technical staff working at any level after assessing suitability and the requirement of the project.

2.     The General Manager/ CORE in the MCDO upto June, 2020, has pointed out that there is an acute shortage of supervisors in the projects; which is adversely affecting the progress of electrification works. He has requested that Zonal Railways may be impressed upon to spare the Non-gazetted supervisors.

3.     The matter has accordingly been considered. It is observed that the difficulty of shortage of staff being faced by CORE may cause delay in the execution of the projects handled by them, impacting the unit cost of operations in Indian Railways adversely. 

4.     The instructions contained in Board’s letter dated 05.10.2017 (RBE No. 143/2017) ibid are accordingly reiterated for a strict compliance. Necessary action may be taken to spare the Non-gazetted supervisors for the RE Projects at the earliest.

Please acknowledge receipt.
