The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A DRUCC member, Chalasani Gandhi, has asked the Railway Board to urgently resolve seniority, promotion and transfer issues affecting employees after the Waltair Division was split.
- Following the creation of the South Coast Railway zone on June 1, 2026, the Waltair Division was reconstituted as the Visakhapatnam Division, while the Rayagada Division was formed under East Coast Railway, dividing about 18,000 employees between the two.
- Gandhi said poor coordination between the two railway zones has caused confusion and anxiety among staff, and urged a joint meeting of officials and unions along with a Joint Procedure Order or MoU for clarity.
- He also suggested collecting option forms from employees and setting up a help desk to address grievances.
What to watch next
- Whether the Railway Board organises the proposed joint meeting of South Coast Railway and East Coast Railway officials with union representatives
- Whether a Joint Procedure Order (JPO) or MoU is issued on employee transfers, promotions and seniority
- Whether option forms are collected from employees and a grievance help desk is set up
