THE Ministry of Railways has decided to re-engage many retired employees against existing vacancies to meet emerging demands in train services, including fulfilling requirements in safety-critical areas.
According to a railway circular issued on June 20 to all zones, retired railway employees can now be re-engaged in vacant posts falling under pay levels 1 to 9. "The retired non-gazetted employees will be hired on a contractual basis at lower levels for the time being and will be posted to the positions they previously held, where they possess relevant experience," the circular said. Any retired employee may apply to return to the position they held previously, it added.
The posts under pay levels 1 to 9 include those related to track maintenance, station masters, clerks, supervisors, and other roles directly or indirectly connected with the operation of train services.
