The Cabinet on December 24 approved restructuring of the Railway Board by downsizing its strength from 8 to 5 including the chairperson, and combining its different cadres into a single Railway Management System, sources stated.
Rather of Railway Board Members for Traffic, Rolling Stock, Traction and Engineering, the freshly constituted Board will have Members for Operation, Business Development, Human Resources, Infrastructure and Finance, the source said.
Indian Railways will now have only one cadre– Indian Railway Service, instead of current 8 services for various departments consisting of Engineering, Traffic, Mechanical and Electrical.
