Retirement

NEW DELHI: In a rare move, the railways has prematurely retired 32 of its officers above the age of 50 years in "public interest" on grounds of inefficiency, doubtful integrity and conduct unbecoming of a public servant as part of a periodic review, according to a statement. The only time in recent history when the railways undertook such a move was in 2016-17 when four officers were prematurely retired. Railways said the move was aimed at improving efficiency and strengthening administrative machinery at all levels. "Recommendations of the review committee were submitted to the respective competent authorities who approved the same. 1,780 officers were considered for review and out of which 32 were recommended for retirement," railways said. Twenty-two among them were directors and above level officers, officials said. Periodic review of those attaining a certain age is part of the service rules of government employees, but rarely are they prematurely retired, according to officials. … [Read more...] about In a rare move, railways prematurely retires 32 of its officers
