Recommendation of the Commissioner for Railway Safety on rear-end collision and subsequent derailment of last two coaches of 214 Dn Passenger with light engine No. 17528 of 132 Dn at Dumri Halt between Barhiya-Mankatha block section of Danapur Division of Eastern Railway on 20.11.02 – Consideration of awards/punishments awarded to the employees at the time of promotion to non-gazetted selection posts. In the Railway Board’s instructions contained in their letter No. E(NG)I-89/PM2/6 dt. 31.1.90, the Railways were directed to evolve suitable check list and guidelines for the members of the Selection Board for departmental selections for filling up non-gazetted posts. Along with the said letter a copy of the check list and guidelines evolved by South Central Railway in this regard was also circulated for adoption by the other Railways with such modifications as may be considered necessary. The above guidelines inter-alia provide that the Selection Board for departmental selections for non-gazetted posts while awarding marks under the head “Record of Service’ should take into account the entries in respect of awards and punishments given and that while addition of marks should be allowed for every cash award/merit certificate subject to the total marks allotted under the head not being exceeded, deduction has to be made for each major/minor penalty imposed during the period for which the Confidential Reports are considered in the selection. The Commissioner of Railway Safety, South Central Circle in his Report on the subject ‘accident’, has inter-alia recommended that for promotion of Goods Driver as Passenger Driver, punishments/rewards during the entire service period should be considered. The above recommendation of the CRS has been carefully considered by the Board. It is considered that the extant procedure is adequate to meet the objective in view. Therefore, while it has not been found feasible to accept the recommendation for considering punishments awarded during the entire service period at the time of promotion from Goods Driver to Passenger Driver, it has been decided to reiterate the extant instructions as stated in para 1 above. The Board, therefore, desire that the Railways should ensure that the relevant instructions are strictly followed by the Selection Boards.
