A 10-month-old girl who lost her parents in an accident in Chhattisgarh has been given compassionate appointment by the railways, officials said.
She can work for the national transporter after attaining the age of 18 years, they said.
This is probably for the first time in the history of the state that such an offer has been given to a child of this age on compassionate grounds, officials said.
Compassionate appointments aim to render immediate help to families of dead government employees.
