Subject: Filling up of the vacancies of Safaiwalas on Railway.
[No. 95-E(SCT) 1/30/4, dated 24.01.1996]
Number of representations are being received from the Hon’ble- Members of Parliament addressed to the Prime Minister MR/MOS/(R) in connection with the posts of Safaiwalas are being kept vacant due to which there is a feeling of deprivation.
Generally, the profession of Safaiwalas is not still liked by most members of the society and still looked with degradation and despise. Therefore, most of the existing casual labour/substitutes do not opt for this category, even though they are offered to be regularised against these posts.
The MOS(R) in his meeting with the officers of Board’s office’s on19.10.1995 has shown a special concern that the passenger amenities noticed at Howrah during his inspection are far below expectation and desires more functional tiolets and laid an emphasis on better sanitation.
Keeping in view the difficulties of the Railways, the Board vide their letter No. E(NG)II/91/RR-1/21, dated 29.11.1995 have further authorised GMs in partial modification of instructions contained in Board’s letter of even number dated 16.09.1991 to open market recruitment in Group ‘D’ category of Safaiwalas at their discretion. In view of the above authorisation, the need of filling of unfilled Safaiwalas vacancies is required to be reviewed and vacancies so filled may be advised. The railway wise position is enclosed.

2. The matter has been reviewed by the Board who have decided that in partial modification of the instructions contained in Board’s letter dated16.9.1991 quoted above, the General Managers may resort to open market recruitment in Group ‘D’ category of Safaiwalas at their discretion.

Subject: Recruitment in Class IV.
Board desire that all proceedings relating to Class IVrecruitment from open market should be stopped immediately. Board also desire that complete details of recruitment in Class IVcategories that are likely to be made during the next one year may be sent by Railway/Production Units within a fortnight, giving complete justification for the same so that the cases could be reviewed.

This however does not apply to regularisation of screened casual labour against decasualised posts/normal vacancies in Class IVcategories, as also re-engagement of casual labour from the live register.
Kindly acknowledge receipt and ensure compliance.
