Railway ministry to hire signalling staff on contractual basis to meet growing needs
NEW DELHI, May 28 (PTI): The railway ministry has decided to hire signalling and telecom staff on contractual basis for deployment at 10 to 15 major stations in four railway zones as a pilot project to meet the increasing demand of such personnel.
In a letter to the general managers of four railway zones — Northeast Frontier, East Coast, South Western and Western, the ministry said that in recent years there has been a massive expansion of the railway network.
The requirement for S&T (signalling and telecom) staff has increased after the implementation of modern signalling systems like Kavach, Automatic Block Signalling (ABS), Intermediate Block Signalling (IBS) and Interlocking of Level Crossing Gates, among others, the ministry said.
