A game between IRCTC Vigilance, Western Railway Vigilance and IRCTC HR

Admin

When a VO was repatriated within 18 months only on the basis of 10 years back exonerated case, how a person was granted extension despite pending SF-11?

A Chief Commercial Inspector, Western Railway, Mumbai Division joined IRCTC on deputation, as Assistant Manager/Catering/IRCTC West Zone on 16.02.2017 and now posted as AM/Indore.

His fixed tenure of 3 years was completed in 15.02.2020.

Proposal for his extension of 4th year was sent to Railway Board on 05.05.2020 by IRCTC, after already completed his tenure in 15.02.2020 which was rejected by Railway Board and decision was communicated to IRCTC by Railway Board on 28.08.2020.

After receiving the rejection letter from Railway Board, IRCTC corporate office wrote a letter to Group General Manager/West Zone (GGM/WZ) on 22.09.2020 to repatriate him to his parent railway.

It’s very surprising that his extension was proposed despite a minor penalty charge sheet (SF-11) of Western Railway Vigilance was pending against him on that time and still today.

Since AM/IRCTC/Indore is one of the earning members of IRCTC West Zone officials, that’s why West Zone official requested CMD/IRCTC to send a fresh proposal to Railway Board for reconsideration of his case to grant him extra one year extension.

Because of one of the beneficiary himself, CMD/IRCTC sent a fresh proposal to Railway Board for reconsideration of the case on 30.09.20.

Now extension was approved by the Railway Board for 4th year on 24.11.2020 which was already rejected on 28.08.2020, after exhausting his tenure on 15.02.2020.

Even his minor penalty case was still standing.

As per reliable sources, in his tenure AM/IRCTC/Indore was involved in several malpractices, by allowing unapproved supply of Rail Neer, unapproved items not only in Static Units under his jurisdiction but also in the Mobile Units passing the stations under his control.

These irregularities were raised by local news papers time to time and in Western Railway Vigilance checks, the same were found to be true.

Now the question arises that “when a Vigilance Officer (VO) was repatriated within 18 months only on the basis of 10 years back exonerated case, how a person was granted extension despite pending minor penalty charge sheet?”

Will the Railway Minister and Chairman/CEO Railway Board take cognizance, because PED/Vig/RB will not take any action since he himself is not only one of a big manipulator, but also involved in vigilance related corruption?

Now CMD/IRCTC again sent a proposal for extension of tenure for 5th year to him despite the pending Minor Penalty Charge sheet and letter written by SDGM/WR to take action.

And, why isn’t a charge sheet served till date to the person concerned as per Western Railway Vigilance instructions and as per rules by the IRCTC Vigilance or by the so called honest CVO/IRCTC?
