Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has proposed to reduce the size of the railway board and merge departments to ensure delegation of powers to field officers and quick implementation of programs and policies. The process of identifying posts that can be reduced in the board and the powers that can be delegated to the field level is already on. It is said that a plan is on cards to post around 90 officers stationed on the board and zonal HQs to divisions which are real working units of railways. General managers, divisional railway managers (DRMs) and field officials have been empowered through delegation of powers - financial and administrative - to fast-track overall working. The post of additional DRMs in all 68 divisions will be increased from one to two and from two to three at some places to improve efficiency. In two divisions in Mumbai, in Western and Central Railways, ADRM posts will increase to four from two. One ADRM in each of these divisions will exclusively deal with suburban services. To strengthen the Divisions, 250 officers of the rank of director and above may be delegated the power and stationed at the HQ. He said the transformation and mobility departments were merged which resulted in the new Rajdhani between Delhi and Mumbai being launched in a record time. Goyal said the PM and the finance minister had given the full liberty to utilize funds for safety. "We'll also earn through station redevelopment and monetization of assets." He released a first-of-its-kind charter for rail employees guaranteeing quick grievance redressal. The charter will be followed by a similar document for passengers.
