The railways is set to end a colonial-era practise of appointing khalasis or 'bungalow peons' who worked at the residences of senior officials, following an order from the Railway Board barring any new appointment to the post.
In an order issued on August
6, the Railway Board has said the issue regarding telephone attendant-cum-dak
khalasis (TADKs) is under review.
"The issue regarding
the appointment of TADK is under review in Railway Board. It has, therefore,
been decided that any appointment of fresh face substitutes as TADK should not
either be processed or made with immediate effect.
"Further, all cases
approved for such appointments since 1st July 2020 may be reviewed and position
advised to Board. This may be complied with strictly in all Railway
establishments," the order said. -- PTI
