Need to improve the maintenance activities in Rail

It has been observed that majority of staff in maintenance department get promoted without adequate qualification to the position of mechanical engineer by mobilizing their immediate bosses or by hook and crook,which result in lapses on the present subject which they are not able to digest the matters.Also due to reservation facility given to the sc /st/obc classes they reach to the position which they are not qualified.

Maximum rail accidents /incidents happen due to negligence of these staff which required immediate attention of the Government.Railway policy should be checked immediately.Either maintenance should be out sourced so that non deserving candidates are not there in this department.
There are sufficient peoples are available in market those who are qualified/skilled but they are unemployed so they should be given an opportunity.
In a nut shell maintenance department should be strengthen.

Present rail employees feel more job secured than any other services in India so they are never afraid of any consequences,hence suggested that peoples found in the negligence on duty should be shown the road of exit with sever imprisonment. more

Most of our secular babus enjoy secular drink at night and even in running trains, that is one of the major reason for inefficiency. No step taken by Railway in this matter more  
Accident mainly occoure due to negligence. Alertness will reduced accident. more  
To Media and PMO,It is very surprising that change/improvement system is very slow,in spite of best resources.2.Again it is very surprising that we ,very ordinary , Railwaymen can think and work on some  very important topics,as long as 20-25 years ago,while top Railway men and Railway minister are thinking now and still do not act,as already been done 20-25 years ago.3.Some of important areas where work has already been done 20-25 years ago,are mentioned below-a)Achieving zero accidents and zero casualties,at minimum cost-in 1995-96 ie 22 years ago.b)Redevelopment of important railway stations at minimum cost & minimum time-in 1994-95 ie 23 years agoc)Completion of Railway projects with least cost and time in 1991-92 ie 26 years ago.d)Enhancing mind potential of Railway men,with minimum efforts in 2000 ie 17 years ago.Media and PMO are requested to implement ideas adopted 20-25 years ago in these important areas.Jai Shanker Gupta,Ex Principal Chief Engineer/Railways, From: gupta jai shanker To: "www.send_newpost++iybbbblkmqbbiy++qstraegxlkmq@localcirclesmail.com" www.send_newpost++iybbbblkmqbbiy++qstraegxlkmq@localcirclesmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2017 7:27 AM Subject: Re: "Need to improve the maint..." in [Make Railways Better] Respected citizens,Railway Minister and higher officers do not know and do not have will power for making zero accidents and zero casualities.2.They are doing mainly 3 following,without visible results--i)Issue letter for more inspections,but excess is bad.ii)Sent officers on leave,without going in depth.iii)Demand huge" Money,"without proper application of "Mind,which is Super computer and have unlimited potential.3.Japan is achieving Zero accidents and our Engg team in Moradabad division of Northern Rly also achieved zero accidents in 1995-96 ie long ago,as we found that India is much superior to Japan.in many ways.4.Accordingly suggestions were sent to Rly ministry many times ,even to present PMO,for zero accidents at nominal cost,bot these are thrown to dustbin,as there does not seem any will power,even at level of present Hon'ble PM& MR.5.Recently,suggestions were again asked by Rly ministry for improvement in Railways.I had given suggestions only on this important field for" Achieving zero accidents and zero casualities at minimum cost".6.Let us hope that good sense touch mind of Hon'ble PM & MR.7.Responsible citizens and media is requested to think,respond and act seriously so that zero accidents can also be achieved in India.Jai Shanker Gupta,IRSE & BE(Civil)-1979,Ex Principal Chief Engineer,Railwaysm-9650391708 From: Devendra Kumar To: jsgupta2000@yahoo.com Sent: Monday, August 21, 2017 7:56 PM Subject: "Need to improve the maint..." in [Make Railways Better] more  
Maintenance comes under two categories 1. What can be repaired should be repaired with expected life of 10 years after repairs? 2. If to be repaired if 26+ years, then it should be replaced with a maintenance period of at least 10 years. On Aug 21, 2017 5:31 PM, "Devendra Kumar" wrote: more  
The suggestion may be implemented. Lot of unemployed people are there to undertake these jobs.outsourcing may also be considered.The existing staff may be reduced and alternative arrangements may be done. more
