Railway Board Chairman flags shortage of manpowerThe Chairman and CEO of the Railway Board, Satish Kumar, has highlighted the critical need for additional manpower in Indian Railways. In a letter to the Ministry of Finance, he emphasized the rapid increase in railway infrastructure, including new lines and trains, and the subsequent need for more staff to ensure...

He emphasized that outsourcing critical safety-related tasks like track, bridge, and locomotive maintenance is not feasible. Kumar highlighted a significant increase in locomotives, loco sheds, workshops, and running rooms, all requiring additional staff for efficient operation and maintenance. He also emphasized the need for more manpower to handle the growing number of escalators, lifts, and electrified lines, and to maintain the increased passenger and freight traffic. Kumar's letter aims to secure the Ministry of Finance's approval for the creation of non-gazetted posts in crucial safety categories.
