The Ministry of Railways has received approval from the Ministry of Finance to fill 5,664 posts across various operational and supervisory categories, even as plans are under way to abolish/ surrender 10,939 posts in lower-level cadres, according to senior officials.

The newly sanctioned posts include Junior Engineers, Senior Section Engineers in civil, electrical, mechanical, and signal & telecom departments, besides Station Masters, Station Superintendents, Chief Commercial-cum-Ticket Supervisors, Commercial Superintendents and Depot Material Superintendents. These positions are expected to strengthen technical, operational and passenger-service functions across the railway network as per the official notification issued last month.
