32 Indian Railways officers above 50 years were retired on various grounds.
New Delhi:
In a rare move, the railways has prematurely retired 32 of its officers above the age of 50 years in public interest on grounds of inefficiency, doubtful integrity and conduct unbecoming of a railway servant as part of a periodic review, according to a statement.
The only time in recent history when the railways undertook such a move was in 2016-17 when four officers were prematurely retired.
Periodic review of those attaining a certain age is part of the service rules of government employees, but rarely are they prematurely retired, officials said.
