No more First AC for Railway officials
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,October 03 2017]
The Railway ministry has ordered all Railway officials to give up their executive privileges and start using common services. Soon all officials including senior Railway officers will have to use either 3 tier AC or sleeper compartments for travels, currently they enjoy the privilege of travelling in executive and first class.
The move comes as the Railway ministry is going through one of the toughest phases with frequent derailment and the horrific Mumbai stampede where mediocre infrastructure gave away to more than 30 lives. The central hub has also asked the employees to travel as a commoner and study the hardships faced by general public for improvement.
