THE CHAIRMAN
RAILWAY BOARD, RAIL BHAVAN,
NEW DELHI.
Respected Sir,
Sub: Expedite recruitment of Assistant Loco Pilots.
With most concern this union desire to bring the following issue for your immediate intervention.
To fill up the vacancies in Loco Running cadre 17,500 posts of Assistant Loco Pilots had been notified through various Railway Recruitment Boards in the year 2008. In the course of this process, due to question paper leak from some RRBs the entire process has been stalled. Though the process restarted still no step taken to recruit these 17,500 selected candidates.
From 2008 to till date, due to normal retirement alone another 3000 posts became vacant. Thus around 21,000 vacancies exist out of 58,000 posts of Loco Pilots. This creates undue stress not only to the management but also to Loco Running Staff. Trains are being held up, rescheduled or cancelled. Staffs are at the receiving end. Leave, medical leave, periodical rest, normal trip rest are denied due to acute shortage of staff. Staff have to perform duty beyond the normal limits for want of relief crew. In this situation, we respectfully submit that the recruitment of Assistant Loco Pilots be completed expeditiously.
The period of training for ALP is 6 months. It may please be noted, to give induction training to these recruits of around 17,500 at a given time is impossible under the present infrastructure. So all the training institute’s full capacity be utilized in a war footing , duly keeping in abeyance all other training to staff for a limited period, till all these 17,500 recruits are trained.
We hope that your good self will seriously intervene and a solution be arrived immediately.
Thanking you
yours faithfully
Ernakulam. L. MONY
