NEW DELHI: Nearly three weeks after the June 2 triple train accident in Balasore, the railway ministry transferred five senior officials from the South Eastern Railway (SER), including the principal chief signal and telecommunication engineer (PCST), principal chief safety officer (PCSO) and the divisional railway manager (DRM) of Kharagpur.
Sources said this is a major action by railways in a single zone and is a signal to the officers, though no reason has been mentioned in their transfer orders. TOI had June 16 reported that more officials would be transferred at the zonal level to send a message that no inefficiency would be tolerated. Earlier, the AGM of the zone was transferred.
