NEW DELHI: In a fresh prescription to the railways, the finance ministry has advocated downsizing of directorates under the railway board – from the current 250 director level officers to less than 100 – and re-evaluation of the size and appointments in the vigilance directorate which has more than 1,170 personnel.
The cabinet secretariat has sent the report “Rationalisation of Government Bodies; Proposals for the Ministry of Railways” prepared by the principal economic adviser of the finance ministry to the railway ministry and has directed it to submit the actions taken on the recommendations by the 5th of every month.
