Two years ago, citing a housing crunch, the Railways stopped allowing its officers posted as Divisional Railway Managers (DRM) across India to retain their previous official residences when their two-year DRM tenure began. Now a quiet move is said to be under way to allow officers to retain their houses when they get deputed to non-railway organisations like various Metro projects across India. This has upset a number of officers who are said to have lodged a complaint with the Railway Board, saying that not allowing DRMs to retain a house while allowing the same to officers deputed to outside organisations is illogical and unfair.
